Male diabetic sexual impotence: effects of dopaminergic agents.

A double blind study was carried out with placebo and dopaminergic agents in 100 patients with male diabetic sexual impotence. In basal conditions, mean serum FSH, LH, PRL, and T levels did not significantly differ from those found in a normal control group. No significant variations with the exception of PRL reduction were observed after use of the dopaminergic agents. Sexual activity was improved in 50% of cases after 3-4 dihidroxifenilalanine and 10% of those of the placebo group. In patients with bromocriptine, 20% improved their sexual function without changes in those receiving placebo.

L-dopa and oligozoospermia.

A clinical investigation of L-Dopa on idiopathic oligozoospermia is carried out. Thirty nine male oligozoospermic patients with primary sterility were divided in two groups. The first group of 25 patients was treated with 500 mg a day during two months. The second group of 14 patients received 750 mg a day for the same time. In the first group we find 14 improvements, 9 at the first month and 5 at the second month. In the second group 8 improvements were observed, 5 in the first month and 3 in the second months. It would seem that L-Dopa has a stimulatory effect on spermatogenesis possibly through hypophysis when it is administered at these dosis and for these periods of time, and it was also observed similar results for longer terms of treatment.
