入选标准

  • Men will be recruited with hypogonadism and NAFLD based on all of:
  • 1.Abnormal serum ALT on >2 occasions over at least 3 months, despite standard lifestyle advice when appropriate, in regard to moderation of alcohol intake, weight reduction and exercise.
  • 2.Negative serological tests for hepatitis Bs ag and C antibody.
  • 3.Alcohol consumption >21 units per week for no more than 2 week in the last year and for no more than 3 months of the past 5 years, assessed using a lifetime alcohol consumption questionnaire 44.
  • 4.Liver biopsy, performed as part of clinical management within 6 months of recruitment, which shows all of: (a) steatosis (Kleiner grade 2 or 3)45; (b) NASH (combined intralobular inflammation and hepatocyte ballooning score of >1)45; (c) fibrosis Ishak stage <446; and (d) no evidence to suggest another major liver disease.
  • 5.Hypotestosteronaemia, defined by total serum testosterone <11 ng/L40 . We predict that this will include about 25% of men with NAFLD as defined above.
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range: 0
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 7
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 3

排除标准

  • 1.Inability to give informed consent.
  • 2.Age <18 or >75 years.
  • 3.Symptomatic sexual dysfunction.
  • 4.Cirrhosis either on baseline liver biopsy (Ishak score 5-6) or suggested by presence of varices, by ultrasound (small shrunken liver, ascites, splenomegaly) or by liver decompensation (encephalopathy, abnormal serum direct bilirubin, albumin or prothrombin time).
  • 5.Space occupying lesion on ultrasound with any suspicion of malignancy.
  • 6. Evidence of other chronic liver diseases pace occupying lesion on ultrasound with any suspicion of malignancy.
  • 7. Prostatic nodule or mass on PR examination unless full urological examination rules our prostate cancer
  • 8. Serum PSA or alpha feta protein above the age-specific normal range
  • 9. Carcinoma of male breast
  • 10.Taking medications (amiodarone, anti-retrovirals, sodium alproate, corticosteroids, tamoxifen) the previous 3 months (known to improve steatosis).
  • 11.Diabetes or hyperlipidaemia, where therapy has been changed within the last 12 months or with suboptimal control anticipating the need for change in therapy during the study.
  • 12.Severe or complicated obesity, likely requiring bariatric surgery in next 2 years.
  • 13.LH/FSH levels, raising the possibility of primary pituitary disease.
  • 14.Subject trying to or hoping to conceive within next 18 months.
  • 15. Haematocrit of >0.54
  • 16.History of any of the following: Sleep apnoea, breast or prostate or liver cancer, congestive heart failure, chronic renal failure (serum creatinine >150), severe chronic obstructive airways disease, uncontrolled hypertension epilepsy depression or migraine.
  • 17.Severe co morbidity likely in the opinion of the investigators to reduce life expectancy to <10 years.
  • 18. Hypersensitivity to active agent or to any of the excipients.
  • Patients in whom H-MRS is contraindicated (e.g. due to a pacemaker) will be eligible for the trial but H-MRS will not be performed with those participants.
