Testosterone replacement attenuates fatty streak formation and improves the HDLC profile in the Tfm mouse: an effect which is independent of the classical androgen receptor

Nettleship Joanne E , Jones Richard D , Channer Kevin S , Jones Hugh T

Research indicates that low testosterone is associated with CAD in men. Evidence suggests that men with hypotestosteronemia and concomitant CAD may benefit from physiological testosterone replacement therapy (PTRT). The mechanism by which testosterone produces these cardio-protective effects and the role of the androgen receptor remains largely unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether testosterone modulates atheroma formation via its classical signalling pathway...
