title: [The effect of diabetic nephropathy on the function of the hypophyseal-gonadal system in men].
abstract: The functional state of the hypophyseal-gonadal system was investigated in 160 males suffering from Types I and II diabetes mellitus. There were no correlations revealed in the incidence and severity of sexual dysfunction according to the patients' ages, diabetes type and duration. The sexual disturbances correlated with the severity of diabetic microangiopathy (r = +0.48) and a state of diabetic compensation (r = +0.36). The development and progression of diabetic nephropathy was accompanied by a rise of blood luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones and a drop of testosterone, estrogen-androgen imbalance.
