Abstract---Background: Male fertility is affected by the metabolic and
hormonal dysregulation brought on by Diabetes Mellitus, a metabolic
illness, particularly in the hypothalamus-pituitary testicular axis.
However, there is little proof that endocrinopathy causes diabetic
men's infertility and low testosterone levels. It is well established that
Type 2 Diabetes causes dyslipidemia & obesity by lowering serum
testosterone levels. However, there isn't much research on DHT, the
most potent androgen, and its relationship to male lipid profiles.
Methods: The study was carried out at Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical
College and Research Centre, Moradabad, in the Department of
Physiology and Medicine & Department of Physiology Santosh Medical
College, Ghaziabad. A total of 210 samples—105 from type 2 diabetics
and 105 from controls—were included in the study. Using
