Aging is associated with a decline in several important health factors in men, including libido. Serum testosterone concentrations also decrease with age, and many age-related clinical features are closely associated with androgen deficiency, including erectile function (ED). Approximately 70% of ED...

This meta-analysis demonstrates a reduced cardiovascular risk with higher endogenous T concentration, improvement of known cardiovascular risk factors with TRT therapy, and reduced mortality in testosterone deficient men who underwent TRT replacement therapy versus untreated men. TRT improves myocar...

Evidence suggests that testosterone replacement therapy does not support an increased risk. This meta-analysis of TRT and prostate risk demonstrates a short-term increase in PSA and prostate volume. However, there was no increased risk of prostate cancer or prostate-related events in patients on t...

In this prospective longitudinal study of 622 men on TRT: erectile function increased significantly, average weight loss was 23.6 ± 0.6 kg after 8 years, blood glucose readings improved and several patients with diabetes went into remission. Cholesterol levels improved significantly and systolic bl...

This review demonstrates there are benefits to treating older men with TRT to improve sexual function, increase lean muscle mass and strength, improve mood and cognitive function, and reduce frailty and osteoporosis. This article confirms that there is no evidence that TRT is associated with increas...

This meta-analysis of 58 research papers regarding TRT and heart health demonstrates that TRT is safe and is associated with prevention of CVD and strokes in hypogonadal men. These studies have have also demonstrated that normal T levels or the normalization of low T levels with testosterone replace...

This study compared traditional TRT with testosterone injections vs. alternative therapy with clomiphene to raise testosterone. This study showed men treated with TRT showed significant increases in libido, erectile function, and sports performance over men taking clomiphene. Among the men who rece...

The European Male Aging Study has demonstrated that the hypogonadism of male aging is predominantly secondary. Theoretically with appropriate stimulation from the pituitary, the aging testis should be able to produce eugonadal levels of testosterone. The strategies for the treatment of late onset hy...

This review article compared different formulations of testosterone; gels, patches, and injection with different esters. It found that patient satisfaction seems to be in favor of long-acting i.m. injections due to the low injection frequency with stable testosterone levels and no daily confrontati...

The most frequently reported adverse reaction to testosterone replacement therapy is erythrocytosis, an abnormal elevation of hemoglobin (greater than 18.5 g/dL) or hematocrit (greater than 52%). However, no studies to date have demonstrated a link between testosterone replacement therapy-induced e...

A definitive role of testosterone in erectile function has been controversial; however, recent evidence is becoming available which substantiates a key function for this hormone. Testosterone deficiency is associated with a decline in erectile function and testosterone levels are inversely correlate...

Testosterone is a key hormone in the pathology of metabolic diseases such as obesity. Low testosterone levels are associated with increased fat mass (particularly central adiposity) and reduced lean mass in males. These morphological features are linked to metabolic dysfunction, and testosterone def...

Androgens are essential for the development of the penis and it is well known that testosterone play a critical role in the physiology of erectile function. From animal studies, testosterone insufficiency disrupts cellular-signaling pathways and induces pathologic alterations in penile tissues leadi...

Sex steroid hormones are known to be important regulators of the lipid and glucose metabolism. Lower levels of testosterone (T) or sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) have been reported in men with type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, the relationship between relative hypogonadism and metabolic syndr...

Men with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) often have low testosterone levels. Elevating low testosterone levels may improve features of the MetS and glycemic control. In a single blind, 52-week randomized clinical trial, the effects of supervised diet and exercise (D&E) with o...
