Endocrine Dysfunction in X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy
2016, Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Most commonly, hypogonadism is noted after neurologic or adrenal symptoms are present; but testicular dysfunction has been reported in men with X-ALD without neurologic or adrenal symptoms.27,65 Most reports suggest primary gonadal failure,66,67 although there may be a degree of pituitary dysfunction leading to a combination of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and primary testicular failure as the cause of low testosterone.68 It has also been suggested that there may be dysfunction of the androgen receptor due to accumulation of VLCFA.69
