About

Aging in men reduces the amount of luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone (Te) secreted in each burst. Stress-associated mechanisms introduced by acute illness and chronic disease decrease LH and Te secretion further. A major unresolved issue is whether the aging process heightens the negative effects of a stressor (whether physical or metabolic) upon LH and Te secretion. This study will assess LH and Te secretion in response to a physical stressor (maximal exercise) and a common metabolic stressor (hyperglycemia) as a function of age in healthy men ages 18-80 yr.

Randomized

Interventional model

Crossover Assignment

Masking

Double Blind

40 participants in 3 patient groups, including a placebo group

Hyperglycemia
Experimental group
Description:
Hyperglycemia (rest controlled) will be induced by i.v. injection of 25 mL of dextrose 50% over 3 minutes with the subject supine. Includes blood draws and fasting requirements.
Treatment:
Drug: Hyperglycemia
Procedure: Blood Draws
Other: Fasting procedure
Saline
Placebo Comparator group
Description:
Saline (rest controlled) will be induced by i.v. injection of 25 mL of saline over 3 minutes with the subject supine. Includes blood draws and fasting requirements.
Treatment:
Procedure: Blood Draws
Drug: Saline
Other: Fasting procedure
Exercise
Experimental group
Description:
Monitored exercise of 7-minute biking, 2-minute arm weights and a blood draw at the 10-minute time point will be repeated 3 times,which takes 30 minutes. Bilateral arm curls begin at 20 pounds and decrease by 5 pounds as needed to sustain 2 minutes of exercise at a rate of 1 complete curl every 2 seconds. Includes blood draws and fasting requirements.
Treatment:
Procedure: Blood Draws
Other: Fasting procedure
Other: Exercise
