OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to examine the association between testosterone treatment and mortality in men with low testosterone levels. DESIGN This was an observational study of mor...
متن کاملExogenous testosterone or testosterone with finasteride increases bone mineral density in older men with low serum testosterone.
Older men, particularly those with low serum testosterone (T) levels, might benefit from T therapy to improve bone mineral density (BMD) and reduce fracture risk. Concerns exist, however, about the impact of T therapy on the prostate in older men. We hypothesized that the combination of T and finasteride (F), a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, might increase BMD in older men without adverse effects...
متن کاملEffects of transdermal testosterone on lipids and vascular reactivity in older men with low bioavailable testosterone levels.
BACKGROUND Sex hormones are known to affect cholesterol levels and vascular tone in women. The effects of testosterone on cholesterol and vascular tone in men are less well understood. Low testosterone levels have been associated with higher cholesterol levels in epidemiologic studies, but testosterone replacement has resulted in variable changes in cholesterol levels. Similarly, clinical studi...
