Abstract
A descriptive cross-sectional study of the hormonal profile in AIDS-infected men was conducted,. 34 individuals entered the study and were dividided into 2 groups: group 1 composed of 14 sound HIV-negative men aged 25.4 ± 2.3, body mass index (BMI) of 24.0 ± l.8 kg/m2 and CD4+ lymphocyte count of 689 ± 208 x 106 cel/L; and group II consisted of 20 HIV-infected men aged 26.9 ± 6.3 , BMI of 22.1 ± 2.81 kg/m2 and CD4+ cell count of 104 ± 112 x 106 cel/L. They were recently diagnosed and had no antiretroviral treatment. The plasmatic concentrations of FSH, LH, prolactin, cortisol, testosterone, T3, T4 and TSH were determined. Correlations were established between the concentrations of testosterone and prolactin and the CD4+ cell count, and between the concentrations of FSH and LH and the concentrations of testosterone. The concentrations of T3, T4, TSH, cortisol and prolactin showed no statistically significant differences in the plasmatic samples of the sound subjects. Higher concentrations of FSH and LH (p £ 0.05) were found in the group of HIV-infected men, whereas the concentrations of testosterone were significantly reduced (p £ 0.05). In the group of HIV-infected patients, the correlation between the concentrations of testosterone and CD4+ cell count was y = 0.104 in a negative slope function. In the group of sound subjects, the value was p = 0.145, but with a positive slope function. The correlations between the concentrations of prolactin and those of testosterone and the CD4+ cell count were very similar. It was demonstrated that hypogonadism in HIV-infected patients is related to a significant increase in the concentrations of FSH and LH; however, other hypophyseal, gonodal, and of adrenal origin hormones do not experience significant changes. It is possible that the decrease in the BMI of these patients be produced at least in part by a a reduction in the synthesis or secretion of testosterone, which suggests that the treament with testosterone may be an important factor to improve the quality of life of this group
