It depends on the preparation, and we think that there is data that shows that the threshold of 52-54% should not be surpassed, and men should be controlled for the hematocrit especially in the first year of treatment every 3 months

* TTh increase Hematocrit - clinically relevant at >52-54%

* Recommended: Control Hematocrit every 3 months in the 1st year

FH – sometimes termed age-related hypogonadism – occurs typically in older, multimorbid men and represents a combined dysfunction of both central and gonadal...

*CAG repeats, I would say, were discovered in the 90s and in fact that was one of my research areas the androgen receptors and also still when I started here at the university in Munster in 2001, the first research over many years was...
