Effects of FSH on Endothelial Function (FEND)

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2020-08-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Male

Summary

Purpose of the study will be to evaluate the effects of the s.c. administration of 300 IU of FSH in 16 healthy males. The endothelial function will be evaluated by the measurement with ecographic approach of the flow mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery. The FMD will be measured before and 6, 12, 24 or 48 hours after FSH or placebo adiministration in the same subjects studied 2 weeks apart. The results will help to clarify whether perturbation of FSH, similar to the one observed in women after the menopause, affect endothelial function.
