Testosterone Implant Dosing Women
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Serum testosterone ranges are based on endogenous hormone production. There is no evidence to support that dosing for exogenous testosterone therapy should be based on establish ranges from endogenous production (which have been shown to be inaccurate in women and children). Subcutaneous testosterone doses from 75 mg to 150 mg (and up to 225 mg) have been shown to be efficacious without significant adverse effects.

Lipoprotein and steroid hormone levels were measured in 61 bilaterally oophorectomised women who had been treated for 3 years with implants containing either oestradiol alone or oestradiol plus testosterone. The lipoprotein levels associated with each of the two therapy regimens were compared. In addition, lipoproteins were measured in 67 untreated bilaterally oophorectomised age-matched women ...
متن کاملEvidence that parenteral testosterone therapy may improve endothelium-dependent and -independent vasodilation in postmenopausal women already receiving estrogen.
The gender difference in cardiovascular disease has been partly attributed to higher androgenic hormone levels. Although testosterone in women may not affect lipids, it remains unknown whether it negates favorable estrogenic effects on endothelial function. We have investigated the effects of testosterone implant therapy on arterial reactivity encompassing endothelial-dependent and -independent...
