Gut Microbiome Is Less Diverse in Teens With Obesity and PCOS – Medscape

Teens with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have decreased bacterial diversity and a more "unhealthy" gut microbiome compared to similar-sized teens without PCOS, according to a new study published online January 23 in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

"We have for the first time demonstrated that obese adolescents with PCOS have an altered gut microbiome compared to girls without PCOS with similar body mass index (BMI), activity level, and dietary habits," write Beza Jobira, MD, and colleagues.

Jobira is affiliated with Children's Hospital Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus, in Aurora.

Researchers also observed that higher testosterone levels, which are often found in women with PCOS, were linked to decreased bacterial diversity in the gut.

"The unhealthy bacteria [were] related to higher testosterone concentrations and markers of metabolic complications. The gut microbiome may play a role in PCOS and its related metabolic complications, and these changes can be found in teenagers who are early in the course of the condition," senior author Melanie Cree-Green, MD, PhD, also of Children's Hospital Colorado, said in a press release issued by The Endocrine Society.

"Further work is needed to better understand the relationship between androgens and the microbiome, especially as a potentially new avenue for therapy," the authors write.

PCOS affects about 6%-18% of women worldwide but is more common among teenagers who are obese and typically starts in adolescence. Individuals affected by the hormonal condition show a range of symptoms, including acne, excess body hair, and irregular periods.

The condition is linked to increased risk for cardiometabolic conditions including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, as well as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), infertility, and depression.

"Despite the increased risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome in women with PCOS, there are limited data linking altered gut microbiota to PCOS," the researchers say.

"Our goal was thus to determine if youth with PCOS and obesity have altered composition of gut microbiota compared to equally obese girls with regular menstrual cycles. This information could provide additional directions to improve treatment and prevention of PCOS," they write.

To study the issue, they conducted a prospective, case-control, cross-sectional study that included 58 teens who were obese and sedentary with an average age of 16 years. Participants were from pediatric endocrinology and lifestyle medicine outpatient clinics at the Children's Hospital Colorado.

The teenagers self-reported dietary and physical activity on standardized questionnaires. Laboratory tests included fasting glucose, sex hormone levels, alanine aminotransferase (ALT, a measure of liver function), inflammatory markers, and lipid levels. Researchers analyzed stool samples for bacterial genetic material.

Compared to participants without PCOS (n = 21), teens with PCOS (n = 37) had significantly decreased -diversity, a measure of bacterial diversity within each individual participant (Shannon diversity, P = .045 and evenness, P = .0052).

"By closely matching our control and PCOS groups for BMI z score, which is a measure that is adjusted for age, as well as having a very similar absolute BMI, we were able to detect differences based on disease status without the confounder of weight," the researchers observe.

The PCOS group also had significantly decreased -diversity, a comparison of overall bacterial composition between the two groups (P < .001).

Results also showed a higher percentage relative abundance (%RA) of phyla Actinobacteria (P = .027), lower Bacteroidetes (P = .004), and similar Firmicutes and Proteobacteria in the PCOS group compared with the non-PCOS group.

These four types of bacteria make up the majority of the gut microbiome, the researchers explain.

Changes in the relative abundance of these bacteria have been linked to a high-fat, low-fiber diet, as well as conditions associated with PCOS, including obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, NAFLD, and inflammation in general.

In this study, lower Bacteroidetes was linked to a 4.4 increased likelihood of having PCOS.

Laboratory tests also showed that higher testosterone levels were significantly associated with decreased -diversity (P < .001).

A range of bacteria were linked to markers of metabolic syndrome, such as waist-to-hip ratio, fasting triglycerides, fasting insulin, and insulin sensitivity.

The study had several limitations. Not all lab tests were available for all participants because they came from three different studies with varying study designs. The study was relatively small, took place at a single tertiary care center, and did not include normal weight individuals with PCOS.

The study was supported by grants from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, Doris Duke Foundation, Boettcher Foundation Webb-Waring award, University of Colorado GI and Liver Innate Immune Program, Center for Women's Health Research, and National Institutes of Health/National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences. The authors have reported no relevant financial relationships.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy or Hormone Replacement Therapy? – Reno Hotline

If you have a confirmed testosterone deficiency, its important to identify if there are any reversible causes that can be addressed before committing to, what should be considered a lifelong therapy. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is an involved process. In my professional opinion, the most effective method of replacement is daily Testosterone Cypionate and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) injections. Your dose is carefully titrated to normalise your male androgen levels.

TRT is an involved process, its a financial commitment and its a time-consuming process. Two daily subcutaneous injections, admittedly with a tiny 29-gauge insulin needle, preparation of your multi-dose vial, every 3 months for Testosterone Cypionate and monthly for HCG, regular blood tests, additional blood tests after a protocol change. We have patients from all over the UK, Europe and further afield, they all have an initial face to face consultation and yearly thereafter, the rest can be managed remotely. Some of my patients travel thousands of miles, Denmark, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Dubai, the Philippines to ensure they receive Gold Standard care. Londoners often complain a trip to Poole is too far, little do they know.

TRT has traditionally been thought of as simply replacing the testosterone. It makes sense, replace the testosterone that is deficient. The issue lies with the subsequent negative effect on other important parameters administration of exogenous testosterone has on the body. Injecting testosterone shuts down the Hypo-pituitary Gonadal (HPG) axis, you know longer produce Lutenising Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland in the brain. LH stimulates the Leydig cells of the testes to produce testosterone, the FSH stimulates the Sertoli cells to produce sperm through a process called spermatogenesis.

HCG mimics LH, it is used in the treatment of male infertility. Intra-testicular testosterone is partly converted to oestradiol by the aromatase enzyme, this helps facilitate spermatogenesis. The Mens Health Clinic now has 20 pregnancies with the concurrent use of HCG alongside testosterone. Its important to appreciate that there are LH receptors all over the body, most noticeably the brain. HCG is clearly important to help maintain fertility and testicular size, but its effects are more wide ranging. Men report an improved sense of well-being and libido using HCG alongside testosterone.

I am uncomfortable with allowing an organ, in this case your testicles, to atrophy with testosterone monotherapy. It seems illogical to me that this should be accepted. I believe that irrespective of whether you want to conceive or not, you should replace this hormone. TRT should be considered hormone replacement therapy (HRT), we should be maintaining function with HCG and supplementing with testosterone to ensure your male androgen levels are normalised.

I am rather shocked and appalled that the medical community has such a simplistic approach to TRT, as one NHS Endocrinologist recently said to me either the patient wants to retain fertility in which case you offer HCG or they do not want to retain fertility in which case you treat with testosterone. This regressive and outdated attitude and approach to TRT is one of the reasons men are willing to travel from all over the world to The Mens Health Clinic, Gold Standard care.

Healthy Men: Benefits of male hormone replacement therapy – Duluth News Tribune

Q: A recent news release suggested that men with low testosterone levels may have improvement in sexual function and quality of life. How can I determine whether I can benefit and what questions should I ask my doctor?

A: Before we get into the details of the newly reported benefits of testosterone therapy including the scope of those benefits and the men most likely to see them lets talk about what, exactly, testosterone is, what it does, and what constitutes low levels (also sometimes referred to as low T, andropause, or even male menopause).

To start with, testosterone is the most important male hormone (although women have measurable levels as well). In a nutshell, its what makes men men at least physically. Its manufactured in the testicles and plays a significant role in puberty (including penis and testicle growth and voice deepening), muscle and bone growth and development, strength, sex drive, and fertility.

Testosterone levels are usually measured with a blood test and are reported in terms of nanograms per deciliter (abbreviated as ng/dL). The normal range for men 20-70 is 300-1000 ng/dL. However, starting at about age 30, mens levels gradually decrease by an average of 1-2% per year. According to the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, the symptoms of low testosterone include little or no interest in sex, erectile dysfunction, less energy/feeling weak, mood changes and feeling depressed, loss of bone mineral density, and loss of body and facial hair. However, there is significant debate as to whether these symptoms are truly associated with low testosterone or if they are a result of other factors, such as chronic illness or certain medications.

Studies have found that 20%-40% of males ages 30-70 have low testosterone levels (although its important to note that not all of them will have any negative symptoms).

Okay, now lets talk about the news stories you may have heard about. The study in question evaluated 38 other high-quality studies and focused on men with age-related low testosterone and the effects of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). The findings were fairly limited: Overall, men who received TRT experienced small improvements in sexual function and quality of life. The researchers did not find that TRT offered any benefits for other age-related issues, such as lack of energy, mood, strength, memory, or cognitive ability. And they were unable to shed any new light on any of the previously reported links between testosterone replacement therapy and heart health, prostate cancer, or mortality.

So, what should you do if you think you might have age-related low testosterone? The Washington DC-based non-profit, Mens Health Network (menshealthnetwork.org), recommends that you discuss your symptoms with your doctor and ask for a blood test. If your levels come back low, you should ask your doctor the following questions recommended by the American College of Physicians (ACP): Will taking TRT help with the symptoms that I came to discuss with you? What method of TRT is best for me? What are the risks and side effects of treatment? And How long will it take for TRT to work, and what if it does not work?

Mens Health Network supports the ACPs guidelines, which recommend that doctors consider offering TRT via intramuscular injection rather than a patch, gel, or pellet. The ACP believes that injections are cheaper, yet just as effective as other methods and involve similar side effects. However, they recognize that injections (which will need to happen every 1-4 weeks) may not be for everyone.

This gym just gave the worst response to harassment – cosmopolitan.com

ANDOR BUJDOSO

A boutique London gym chain, GYMBOX, has come under fire for its response to a female member, who complained after a male acted aggressively towards her on the gym floor. The clincher? The GYMBOX staff member who replied to her email put it down to the man having "high levels of testosterone" after exercising. Umm, what?

Taking to Twitter to air the email reply she received, Elena Banbury explained the situation to her followers, by saying, "So a random gym goer harassed me and my friend at our first visit to @GYMBOXofficial, this is the response we got... Glad to see staff justifying aggressive behaviour because its never happened to them, and men have testosterone...".

Elena also posted the initial email she sent to GYMBOX, explaining that the man had called her "pathetic" for the way she was using a leg press machine and threw weights on the floor, then continued staring at her.

The reply to her from GYMBOX read:

Hi Elena,

Apologies but I never got your first email.

It is unfortunate you had such an experience in our gym, I have never had similar issues with members. I understand that what was said was inappropriate and rude. I have been working in this gym for 3 years and I haven't had any complaints about [name erased].

I will bring this up with my manager and have a discussion with him.

Obviously this isn't a great start, but things then took an even worse turn:

From my personal point of view, it is an unfortunate situation where a guy was rude to you, but it could have happened anywhere. We are in a gym where testosterone levels are high, especially during workouts. This means that reactions to situations can be a bit extreme, especially for men.

Wow.

When we contacted GYMBOX for comment, they responded saying they'd investigate the incident and admitted that the response to the complaint has "fallen short of what it should be" (err, yeah, ya think?):

Researchers are one step closer to developing a safe and effective male contraceptive pill – Firstpost

The female birth control pill has been around for about 60 years now. Prescribed by a doctor and taken daily, it is highly effective in preventing pregnancies (99.7% effective with perfect use). At the same time, not much progress has been made in manufacturing a male contraceptive pill. There are two methods used by men currently: condoms are the most common, with very few men opting for vasectomies. The latter is reversible now (though there is no guarantee of conception); a surgery in which the vas deferens, which transfers sperm to the urethra, is cut or tied.

Representational image. Image source: Getty Images.

Why is there no male contraceptive pill? Opinion polls have suggested reluctance in its usage and many pharmaceutical companies may have not thought of it as a worthwhile investment. It appears that there just isnt enough demand for it. Considering that there are 89 million unintended pregnancies and 48 million abortions a year, this is rather surprising.

Pills or injections that have been developed for men have produced undesirable side effects. A commonly used method is to lower the amount of testosterone in the body to suppress the production of sperm - but if the level of testosterone falls too low there is a higher likelihood of mood disorders and depression. Participants in pilot stages also reported lower libido and temporary erectile dysfunction.

Last year, a drug was developed that contained progestin and modified testosterone. The progestin works to lower sperm production and the modified testosterone helps maintain the levels of testosterone in the body. This drug, in small clinical trials, performed well, but the above mentioned side effects were still present. The researchers said that further study was required and that it would be a decade before the drug could become reality.

Researchers at the University of Dundee in Scotland have developed an unrivalled, fully automated robotic screening system which allows them to check the effectiveness of chemicals on sperm in real-time. The technology allowed them to study 13,000 drugs that were in the clinical trial stage at the cellular level and analyze their effectiveness. In a breakthrough, the researchers revealed that it is possible to find effective agents that halt sperm in its tracks and further research will be carried out on these chemicals.

So far, our understanding of the biology of sperm has been surprisingly limited. We do not have sufficient knowledge of protein targets that make sperm act the way they do. Further, technological constraints have meant that researchers are unable to test the interactions of multiple chemicals with sperm, and clinical trials that have been conducted or are in process are very slow. By building a miniaturized parallel testing agent and image processing tools, these shortcomings have been overcome. Also, an interaction known as the acrosome reaction can be examined from a different lens thanks to technology. This reaction is a critical part of fertilization and understanding its mechanics will further our understanding of how sperm works.

The advent of robot technology could mean that we are finally closer to a male contraceptive pill or injection. This should, hopefully, lead to a decrease in the number of unintended pregnancies.

Mom of trans child pleads with lawmaker brother over trans health care bill – NBC News

Christy Florence, the wife of a transgender man and mother of a trans daughter, wrote an open letter to her brother, a conservative lawmaker in Utah, decrying his reported efforts to introduce legislation that would restrict transgender health care for minors in the state.

"Brad, I implore you to leave the decisions of medical care to the parents and medical professionals," she wrote in The Salt Lake Tribune to her brother, state House Rep. Brad Daw, a Republican. "Trust the experts. They know what they are doing. These families know their children and what is the very best for them."

While the anticipated legislation has not yet been proposed, The Tribune reported this month that Daw had begun drafting a bill to ban gender reassignment operations and the use of cross-sex hormones for trans minors. Similar measures have been introduced in at least seven other states this month.

The Morning Rundown

Let our news meet your inbox. The news and stories that matters, delivered weekday mornings.

Daw declined NBC News' request for comment.

Florence, co-founder of the Utah LGBTQ advocacy group Mama Dragons, said in her op-ed that she has sat with many transgender young people and their families and "listened to their struggles." She said transgender health care is "life-saving" and those seeking it often face "insurmountable obstacles." The bill her brother is reportedly about to propose, she added, would "restrict survival opportunities for young people who are transgender."

The Tribune reported that Daw is writing the draft legislation following a request by the conservative Eagle Forum, founded by the activist Phyllis Schlafly.

"We want to do what we think is reasonable practice, which is put off that kind of one-way ticket decision until the youth is an adult," Daw told the paper.

According to local media, Daw's bill is being framed as a compromise, at least compared to bills progressing in legislatures in states like Tennessee and South Dakota, because it would not restrict the use of puberty blockers, which a study published last week found to be linked to lower suicide risk for trans people.

But experts warned that even a less draconian effort than Utah's which would permit the use of puberty blockers but not cross-sex hormones could have unintended consequences.

"Puberty blockers are an important component of care for transgender youth; however, they are insufficient on their own," said Dr. Jack Turban, a resident psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School and lead author of the puberty study. "Guidelines set forth by major medical organizations, including the Endocrine Society, explain that hormonal treatments like estrogen and testosterone are also needed."

Without cross-sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, Turban added, trans adolescents who wish to suppress puberty may not see proper bone development. Turban also noted that genital surgery for minors, which would reportedly be banned in Daw's bill, already goes against existing medical guidelines.

"At the end of the day, legislators should not pick away individual steps of established medical protocols they do not fully understand," Turban said. "It is a recipe for unintended and dangerous medical consequences."
