[QUOTE="Jinzang, post: 63821, member: 12925"] You'll probably see this reported in the news. From the [URL="https://www.nia.nih.gov/newsroom/2017/02/nih-supported-trials-testosterone-therapy-older-men-report-mixed-results"]press release[/URL] at the NIH website: In older men with low testosterone, one year of testosterone treatment improved bone density and corrected anemia of both known and unknown causes, but also increased the volume of coronary artery plaque, according to results reported from the Testosterone Trials (T Trials). Testosterone treatment had no effect on memory or other cognitive function. The T Trials were conducted at 12 sites across the country in 790 men age 65 and older with low levels of testosterone and symptoms to which low testosterone might contribute. Participants were randomly assigned to receive testosterone gel or a placebo gel applied to the skin daily. Serum testosterone concentration was measured at one, two, three, six, nine and 12 months. The men were also closely monitored for prostate and cardiovascular problems. In addition to low testosterone, the presence of complaints such as low sexual function, difficulty in walking or low vitality was required for eligibility to participate in the trials. “The results on diverse outcomes indicate the potential trade-offs between benefits and risks of testosterone treatment in older men,” said Evan Hadley, M.D., director of NIA’s Division of Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology. “However, clarifying the effects of testosterone on many major clinical outcomes such as cardiovascular events, fractures, and disability will require longer, larger scale trials. The results also illustrate that decisions about testosterone treatment need to be individualized, taking into account each patient’s balance of risks for the various conditions that testosterone treatment could affect.” [/QUOTE]
