GH1 and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: Given this premise, we decided to evaluate the independent effect of AR gene CAG repeat polymorphism on TRT-related metabolic changes, focusing on male postsurgical hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, a condition which is nearly always associated with hypopituitarism and requires the concomitant administration of metabolically active hormone replacement therapies, such as recombinant growth hormone (GH), levothyroxine, and cortisone [14–18].
