Abstract

The article identifies the features of metabolic disorders in adolescent boys aged 13-17 years with signs of androgen deficiency (delayed sexual development). An individual analysis of lipid profile indices made it possible to establish the presence of pathological changes in lipid parameters of atherogenic orientation in more than half of the examined (59,15 %). Deviations in the lipid profile, mainly due to an increase in proatherogenic and a decrease in antiatherogenic lipid fractions, may indicate the effect of androgen deficiency on lipid metabolism in adolescents, both with normal and overweight. Fasting hyperinsulinemia and the formation of insulin resistance in boys with hypoandrogenism are associated with overweight.
