Acute endothelial response to testosterone gel administration in men with severe hypogonadism and its relationship to androgen receptor polymorphism: a pilot study
Conclusion
Administration of TG causes an acute vasodilation and improves arterial stiffness probably due to non-genomic actions of T. Endothelial vasodilatory response was more pronounced depending on higher plasma TT and DHT levels attained. Clinical implications in elderly frail populations are discussed.
