Brief Summary:
Determine if men with erectile dysfunction ED are more likely to have insulin resistance compared to healthy controls
Detailed Description:
Insulin is a hormone produced by the body that lets sugar into the cells where it is used for energy Insulin resistance occurs when the bodys cells have a decreased ability to react to insulin This leads to an increase in insulin secretion Over time insulin resistance can lead to higher levels of sugar in the blood diabetes and can also contribute to obesity high blood pressure high cholesterol levels and heart disease There are no simple tests to actually diagnose insulin resistance Currently the glucose tolerance test is used to diagnose IR but it involves several blood draws over a 2-hour period Another purpose of this study is to compare a blood test involving only one blood draw to the 2-hour glucose tolerance test which involves several blood draws over a 2-hour period
It is well known that diabetes often leads to erectile dysfunction Because insulin resistance occurs before diabetes it is possible that erectile dysfunction may occur in some individuals while they have insulin resistance but before they develop diabetes If this is true it might be possible to use erectile dysfunction as a sign of insulin resistance which may lead to more timely treatment of insulin resistance and may delay or prevent the development of diabetes and the other problems mentioned above
