We compared sexual function and reproductive hormone levels among men with localization-related epilepsy (LRE) taking various antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and normal controls (NC).
Subjects were 63 men with LRE [enzyme-inducing (EI) AEDs, 36; lamotrigine (LTG), 18; no AEDs, 9] and 18 NC. Sexual interest and function (S-score), hormone levels [bioactive testosterone (BAT) and estradiol (BAE)], hormone ratios [BAT/BAE], and gonadal efficiency [BAT/luteinizing hormone (LH)] were compared among the groups.
S-scores, BAT levels, BAT/BAE, and BAT/LH were significantly lower in the EIAED group than in NC or LTG groups. Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) was significantly higher in the EIAED group than in all other groups. Of men with LRE, 23.8% had abnormally low S-scores: 33.3% taking EIAEDs, 5.5% taking LTG, and 22.2% taking no AEDs (p < 0.01). BAT was low in 55.6% taking EIAEDs as compared with 33.3% taking LTG and 33.3% taking no AEDs (p < 0.05). Among men with low S-scores, 86.7% had low BAT as compared with 33.3% of men with normal scores (p < 0.01). BAT decline with age was greater among men with LRE than in controls (3.75 vs. 1.80 ng/dl/yr). The slope showed no significant difference among LRE groups. However, 89% of 40- to 50-year-old men taking EIAEDs had low BAT as compared with 33% taking LTG and 33% taking no AED (p < 0.01).
Sexual function, BAT levels, BAT/BAE, and gonadal efficiency are greater with LTG than with EIAED. Abnormally low BAT levels are reached at an earlier age with EIAEDs than with LTG.
我们比较了服用各种抗癫痫药物(AEDs)的局限性癫痫(LRE)男性患者与正常对照(NC)之间的性功能和生殖激素水平。
研究对象为63例LRE男性患者[酶诱导(EI)AEDs组36例;拉莫三嗪(LTG)组18例;未服用AEDs组9例]和18例NC。比较了各组之间的性兴趣和功能(S评分)、激素水平[生物活性睾酮(BAT)和雌二醇(BAE)]、激素比值[BAT/BAE]以及性腺效率[BAT/促黄体生成素(LH)]。
EI AEDs组的S评分、BAT水平、BAT/BAE和BAT/LH显著低于NC组或LTG组。EI AEDs组的性激素结合球蛋白(SHBG)显著高于所有其他组。LRE男性患者中,23.8%的患者S评分异常低:服用EI AEDs的患者中为33.3%,服用LTG的患者中为5.5%,未服用AEDs的患者中为22.2%(p<0.01)。服用EI AEDs的患者中有55.6%的BAT水平低,而服用LTG的患者中为33.3%,未服用AEDs的患者中为33.3%(p<0.05)。S评分低的男性患者中,86.7%的患者BAT水平低,而S评分正常的男性患者中这一比例为33.3%(p<0.01)。LRE男性患者中BAT随年龄下降的幅度大于对照组(3.75 ng/dl/年对1.80 ng/dl/年)。LRE各组之间斜率无显著差异。然而,40至50岁服用EI AEDs的男性患者中89%的BAT水平低,而服用LTG的患者中为33%,未服用AED的患者中为33%(p<0.01)。
与EI AEDs相比,LTG治疗时性功能、BAT水平、BAT/BAE和性腺效率更高。与LTG相比,EI AEDs导致BAT水平异常低的年龄更早。
