Evaluation of serum irisin level and severity of erectile dysfunction in diabetic males: a cross sectional prospective study
Background: Irisin is an exercise-induced myokine that alleviates endothelial dysfunction and reduces insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The current study aimed to assess the serum level of irisin in T2DM men with erectile dysfunction (ED) compared to T2DM patients with normal erectile function and healthy controls, as well as investigate the association between serum irisin level and the severity of ED in T2DM patients. Patients and
methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 90 males, divided into three groups: 32 T2DM patients with ED, 24 T2DM patients without ED, and 34 healthy controls. Socio-demographic characteristics and scores of the validated Arabic version of the international Index of Erectile Function-5 (ArIIEF-5), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were obtained. Furthermore, routine laboratory tests employed for diabetes monitoring and serum levels of total testosterone and irisin were assessed within these groups.
Results: T2DM men with ED had significantly lower serum levels of irisin and testosterone, as well as a lower ArIIEF-5 score, but their GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores were significantly higher than those without ED or controls (p < 0.001). Among T2DM men, serum irisin levels positively associated with ArIIEF-5 scores and serum testosterone (r = 0.413, p = 0.002; r = 0.936, p < 0.001, respectively) but negatively associated with glycosylated hemoglobin levels (r = -0.377, p = 0.004). Multivariate regression analysis to predict ED in T2DM patients found that GAD-7 score was the only most significant predictor for ED (ꞵ = − 1.176, standard error = 0.062, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The current study had demonstrated that irisin positively correlated with the ArIIEF-5 and serum testosterone but negatively correlated with HbA1c in T2DM men. Nevertheless, further validation of these findings is necessary through cohort studies. © The Author(s) 2024.
