[QUOTE="croaker24, post: 22506, member: 900"] Press release out today. I'd like to see the details of this study, ostensibly a 3-year double blind study using gel, I get the feeling the dosage was likely inadequate. [URL]http://www.brighamandwomens.org/about_bwh/publicaffairs/news/pressreleases/PressRelease.aspx?sub=0&PageID=2128[/URL] [I]The results of this trial suggest that testosterone should not be used indiscriminately by men,” said corresponding author Shalender Bhasin, MD, director of BWH’s Research Program in Men’s Health: Aging and Metabolism and director of the Boston Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center at BWH. “We find that men with low and low normal testosterone are unlikely to derive benefits in terms of sexual function or quality of life, two reasons why men may seek testosterone therapy.
