Abstract

Testosterone concentrations in males tend to decline with advancing age. Low testosterone, also known as androgen deficiency (AD), is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Currently, the primary treatment for AD is testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which may exacerbate pre-existing medical conditions. Therefore, the use of alternative options, such as herbs, spices, plants, or their extracts, has been explored as a potential treatment option for AD. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize and critically evaluate randomized controlled trials published on the efficacy of single herbal ingredients on testosterone concentrations, in addition to its fractions or binding proteins, in men (≥18 y). From the 4 databases searched, there were 13 herbs identified in 32 studies, published between 2001 and 2019. The main findings of this review indicate that 2 herbal extracts, fenugreek seed extracts and ashwagandha root and root/leaf extracts, have positive effects on testosterone concentrations in men. Also, some evidence exists for another herb and herbal extract, Asian red ginseng and forskohlii root extract. Overall, 9 out of 32 studies demonstrated statistically significant increases in testosterone concentrations. Moreover, 6 studies out of 32 were judged as having a low risk of bias. Current evidence is largely based on young, nonclinical populations, with 16 out of 32 studies using men <40 y of age. Conclusions are moderated by the paucity of research for many herbs, the variation in dosages and extracts used, small sample sizes, and the heterogeneity of study characteristics. Also, further research is required before definitive conclusions on efficacy and safety can be made. This systematic review was registered at PROSPERO as CRD42020173623.

摘要

男性的睾丸酮浓度往往随着年龄的增长而下降。低睾丸酮,也称为雄激素缺乏症(AD),与发病率和死亡率的增加有关。目前,AD 的主要治疗方法是睾丸酮替代疗法(TRT),但它可能会使先前存在的疾病恶化。因此,人们探索了使用草药、香料、植物或其提取物等替代方法作为 AD 的潜在治疗选择。本系统评价的目的是总结和批判性评估已发表的关于单一草药成分对睾丸酮浓度的功效的随机对照试验,此外还评估了其分数或结合蛋白在男性(≥18 岁)中的作用。从搜索的 4 个数据库中,共确定了 32 项研究中的 13 种草药,这些研究发表于 2001 年至 2019 年之间。本综述的主要发现表明,2 种草药提取物,即葫芦巴籽提取物和南非醉茄根和根/叶提取物,对男性的睾丸酮浓度有积极影响。此外,还有一些证据表明另一种草药和草药提取物,即亚洲红参和毛蕊花提取物。总体而言,32 项研究中有 9 项显示睾丸酮浓度有统计学意义的增加。此外,32 项研究中有 6 项被认为具有低偏倚风险。目前的证据主要基于年轻的非临床人群,其中 16 项研究的对象为年龄<40 岁的男性。由于许多草药的研究较少,所用剂量和提取物的差异,样本量小以及研究特征的异质性,结论受到限制。在能够得出关于疗效和安全性的明确结论之前,还需要进一步的研究。本系统评价已在 PROSPERO 上注册,注册号为 CRD42020173623。
