Effects of glucose and fructose supplementation on serum sex hormone-binding globulin and testosterone levels: Post-hoc analysis of a double-blind randomized controlled trial
Background&aims
Previous laboratory studies have shown that simple sugars impair the hepatic synthesis of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). This study aimed to assess whether fructose or glucose differentially affect serum SHBG and (free) testosterone levels in humans.
Methods
This is a secondary analysis of the FRUITLESS trial, a double-blind, randomized controlled study, including 36 participants (BMI ≥28 kg/m2, fatty liver index ≥60). Participants followed a 6-week fructose-restricted diet and were supplemented with either fructose or glucose, matched to the amount of natural fructose that was removed from the diet. Differences between groups were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with adjustment for sex.
Results
No significant differences were observed between fructose and glucose supplementation groups in serum SHBG (regression coefficient: +7.7 nmol/L, 95 % CI: −7.0; 22.4), total testosterone (+2.9 nmol/L, 95 % CI: −0.4; 6.2), or free testosterone (−1.9 pmol/L, 95 % CI: −93.0; 89.1). Sex-stratified analyses revealed similar results.
Conclusion
Fructose and glucose supplementation do not differentially impact serum SHBG or (free) testosterone levels at a clinically meaningful level.
The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03067428) and were approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Maastricht University Medical Center (NL58360.068.16).
期刊介绍:
Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is an electronic-only journal and is an official publication of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN). Nutrition and nutritional care have gained wide clinical and scientific interest during the past decades. The increasing knowledge of metabolic disturbances and nutritional assessment in chronic and acute diseases has stimulated rapid advances in design, development and clinical application of nutritional support. The aims of ESPEN are to encourage the rapid diffusion of knowledge and its application in the field of clinical nutrition and metabolism. Published bimonthly, Clinical Nutrition ESPEN focuses on publishing articles on the relationship between nutrition and disease in the setting of basic science and clinical practice. Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is available to all members of ESPEN and to all subscribers of Clinical Nutrition.
