Subnormal testosterone concentrations have been found in 25% of men with type 2 diabetes in association with inappropriately low luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone concentrations (1), which suggests that the primary defect may be at the hypothalamo-hypophyseal level. Circulating anti-pituitary antibodies (APAs) were first detected by Kobayashi et al. (2) in sera from 91 patients with type 2 diabetes at a relatively high frequency (24.2%). Thus far, a possible role of pituitary autoimmunity in diabetic patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) has never been investigated.Ninety-five consecutive male patients with type 2 diabetes and aged >35 years were recruited among those attending the Unit of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases at the Second University of Naples from September 2010 to September 2012. Patients with severe obesity (BMI >35 kg/m2) were excluded. The diagnosis of isolated HH included a serum testosterone level <12.0 nmol/L, normal or low gonadotropin concentrations, and symptoms and signs of androgen deficiency.
