Title

Male Equivalent Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: Hormonal, Metabolic and Clinical Aspects

Pages

  79-83

Abstract

 Recent studies identified the presence of a male Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which mainly affects men whose female relatives are afflicted with PCOS, caused by genes responsible for the susceptibility of this syndrome in women. Similar hormonal, metabolic, and clinical alterations occurring in PCOS women have also been reported in their male relatives, suggesting a association between the male and female forms of the syndrome. Although the remarkable clinical manifestation of the male equivalent PCOS is diagnosed by the early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia, characterized by hair recession, pronounced hypertrichosis, Insulin Resistance, biochemical and hormonal abnormalities, the hormonal/metabolic profile is still controversial. Men affected by early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) are at risk of developing hyperinsulinemia, insulin-resistance, dyslipidaemia, and cardiovascular diseases. However, there is no consensus on the association of male equivalent PCOS with hypertension and obesity. Moreover, reduced levels of sex hormone-binding globulin have been detected in these male patients, accompanied by increased free androgens. Conversely, literature reported lower concentrations of testosterone in male equivalent PCOS when compared with the normal range, indicating a crucial role for the conversion of cortical androgens. Finally, further studies are warranted to investigate a possible link among AGA, metabolic/hormonal alterations, and acne. Our study assessed the hormonal, metabolic and clinical aspects of male equivalent PCOS syndrome reported in the literature to evaluate similar and divergent elements involved in the female version of the syndrome.
