Androgens and male aging: current evidence of safety and efficacy - PMC

Many signs of aging, such as sexual dysfunction, visceral obesity, impaired bone and muscle strength, bear a close resemblance to features of hypogonadism in younger men. The statistical decline of serum testosterone in aging men is solidly ...

*When Prof. Alex Vermeulen from Gent/Belgium in the 1970s started his pioneering work on the decline of testosterone levels in aging men, his work seemed to most professionals only of theoretical interest (for review:1). But further studies have substantiated that, with age, a significant percentage of men over the age of 60 years have serum testosterone levels below the lower limits of normal for young adult men (aged 20–30 years) 2, 3. Now, 30–40 years later, the pathophysiological implications of this decline, sometimes amounting to outright testosterone deficiency, have become clearer

About Alex Vermeulen​

Professor Alex Vermeulen died in Ghent on 20 January 2023. Alex Vermeulen was a brilliant medical practitioner with a long, successful career as chief physician of the University Hospital, professor at Ghent University and dean of his faculty.




On the occasion of Legacy Giving Day we zoom in on the 2012 bequest with usufruct to City of Ghent and the 2023 bequest to the Friends of the Museum from Professor emeritus dr. Alex Vermeulen. Prior to Vermeulen contacting the MSK in the summer of 2011, he had not previously attracted attention. In a letter to museum director Robert Hoozee at the time, he wrote about his ‘modest’ collection, yet listed some resounding names of Belgian and international artists that immediately aroused interest.


Over the past decade, the contacts between Vermeulen and the museum strengthened, allowing us to partake of his backgrounds, his pioneering professional career, his motives for collecting and his social altruism.
