Testosterone Replacement, Muscle Strength, and Physical Function.

ABSTRACT: Muscle strength and physical function decrease in older men, as do testosterone levels. Nonetheless, the effects of testosterone replacement therapy on muscle strength and physical function remain inconclusive and equivocal. We conducted a rapid systematic review, the results of which showed that testosterone replacement does not affect muscle strength (measured by hand grip strength and leg muscle strength), although it may increase physical function (measured by the 6-minute walk test, Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly score, and other physical performance tests). However, most of the studies were conducted in the United States or Europe and did not include participants from Asian or other ethnic backgrounds; therefore, further studies are needed to evaluate the effects of testosterone replacement in a broader population.

Strength training with suppressed testosterone level

Project description:Human subjects were randomized for treatment with a GnRH-analogue, Goserelin, which suppresses endogenous testosterone or placebo for 12 weeks. Strength training was performed during the last 8 weeks. The suppression of testosterone resulted in an attenuation of the normal muscle adaptation to strength training (increased muscle mass and strength). To identify molecular signals involved in the response to testosterone levels, biopsies were obtained 4 hours after the last training session and gene expression compared with Affymetrix 3' microarrays. This timepoint should capture goserelin effect on both constitutive expression, training induced changes as well as acute exercise induced (4 hours) differences in mRNA levels. Four subject from the placebo group and five subjects from the Goserelin group were compared. Total RNA from vastus lateralis mmuscle biopsies were purified and analyzed on Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 arrays.

Perioperative Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Sarcopenic Male Colorectal Cancer Patients

Project description:With increasing age and the additional impact from the bowel cancer and the chemotherapy and/ or radiotherapy it has been described that testosterone (a male hormone produced naturally in the body) levels are reduced. Testosterone has an impact on numerous body functions including the muscle mass and quality. Previous studies have identified that muscle mass is reduced as a result of ageing but also because of the deleterious effect of cancer and chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. There is growing evidence from published studies that patients with better muscle mass and quality, do better after surgery. Mr Jenkins and his team are therefore looking at ways, the investigators can try and prevent or reduce this muscle loss and therefore improve patient outcomes. The aim of this study is to assess whether using testosterone replacement therapy in the form of a topically applied gel daily for a total of 12 weeks, is feasible and acceptable by the patients who are diagnosed with colorectal cancer and are waiting to undergo surgery. The investigators will also collect information related to the testosterone replacement therapy such as questionnaires on the quality of life, fatigue and muscle mass, and blood biomarker changes in the blood.
