Abstract
Male patients with acromegaly frequently have hypogonadism. However, whether excess GH affects gonadal function remains unclear. We retrospectively compared clinical features affecting total testosterone (TT) and free testosterone (FT) levels between 112 male patients with acromegaly and 100 male patients with non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) without hyperprolactinemia. Median maximum tumor diameter (14.4 vs. 26.5 mm) and suprasellar...
