Abstract
- A randomized controlled trial is conducted to determine the effects of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on prostate tissue of ageing men with low serum testosterone levels. The preliminary results have shown that in aging men with late-onset hypogonadism, six months of TRT normalizes serum androgen levels but appears to have little effect on prostate tissue androgen levels and cellular functions.
