Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study on 40 men with type 2 DM.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by hyperinsulinaemia and insulin resistance.

Hypothesis Testosterone therapy increases lean body mass and insulin sensitivity in men with low normal levels of bioavailable testosterone and type 2 DM.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background Inadequate levels of androgens have been associated with an increased risk of chronic illnesses including obesity and diabetes. Moreover, testosterone treatment has been shown to increase lean body mass and lipid oxidation as well as insulin sensitivity in hypogonadal men.
