Abstract

In aging males low serum testosterone is associated with cardiovascular disease. Testosterone replacement (TRT) can improve symptoms of cardiovascular disease, and in animal models of early atherosclerosis, such as the cholesterol-fed testicular feminised mouse (Tfm), TRT is also atheroprotective (Nettleship et al. 2007). The mechanisms underlying this are unclear, but since atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease testosterone may have an anti-inflammatory role.
