Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Comparator: low dose testosterone

Intervention Type DRUG

Subjects will receive two muscle biopsies, the first at baseline, and the second a week after a single intramuscular dose of 200 mg (0.8 mL) testosterone.

Comparator: high dose testosterone

Intervention Type DRUG

Subjects will receive two muscle biopsies, the first at baseline, and the second a week after a single intramuscular dose of 600 mg (2.4 mL) testosterone.

3

Placebo

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Comparator: placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

Subjects will receive two muscle biopsies, the first at baseline, and the second a week after a single intramuscular dose of 0.8 mL placebo saline solution.
