Free Abstract

Svartberg J et al. - Testosterone treatment had a large impact on body composition with reduced fat mass and abdominal adipose tissue and increased fat-free mass, but it did not affect weight and glucose and lipid metabolism. Bone mineral density in the hip was significantly higher after the testosterone treatment. Older men with subnormal testosterone levels had an unfavorable metabolic profile. Testosterone treatment improved body composition, but it did not reverse the unfavorable metabolic profile.
