The Influence of Performance Therapy with Statins on Androgen Balance in Patients with Stable Angina in Combination with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

О. Kapustуnskа Тhe present paper analyzes the influence of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) on androgen balance in 120 patients with stable angina (SА) combined with the diabetes mellitus (DM). It demonstrates the definition of the levels of total testosterone (TT), testosterone-estradiol binding globulin (TEBG) in plasma and free androgen index calculation (FAI) = TT•100/TEВG. Read More …
