Testosterone’s impact on the Male Body
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Age related Changes in Testo
• Total and Free T decline with age• By 75 ys, T (total) is 2/3 T at age 20 and Free T
drops by 40%• Circadian rhythms of T drop as age• DHT and Estradiol levels remain the same with
age.

ANDROGENS AND BODY COMPOSITION
•Androgen replacement in hypogonadal men leads to:– Decreased % body fat – Increased lean body mass– Reduced bone remodeling– Increased trabecular bone density

VIAGRA® AND TESTOSTERONE DEFICIENCY
• Viagra is not a treatment for testosterone deficiency
• Viagra does not improve libido
• Testosterone deficiency should be treated before Viagra is prescribed
• Viagra and testosterone replacement may have beneficial effects in men who have testosterone deficiency and vascular disease

Testosterone and Metabolic Syndrome Connection
• Metabolic Syndrome defined as: 1. Insulin resistance2. HTN3. Dyslipidemia4. Central Obesity
Leads to endothelial dysfunction and Oxidative stress.
Obesity is likely the common link. Adipose cells produce Leptin, which decreases T
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Low T levels may predict future onset of Type II Diabetes or Metabolic Syndrome
Low total testosterone and low serum SHBG are associated with increased risk of developing MetS over time, particularly non-overweight, middle-aged men (BMI<25)
40 –70
1709Kupelian, et al J Clin Endocrinol Metab2006: 98(13):843-850
Levels of testosterone and SHBG were inversely associated with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance
Each unit increase (1 SD or 5.3 nmol/L) in total testosterone level reduced the risk of metabolic syndrome by 57%
40 –80
400Muller, et alJ Clin Endocrinol Metab2005: 90(5):2618-2623
Men with low testosterone were significantly more likely to develop either metabolic syndrome or diabetes
Among men monitored for 11 years, those in the lowest testosterone quartile had a 2.3-fold higher risk of both outcomes

Testosterone and Mortality
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
VA database 2006
• Subject Group: 858 veterans older than 40 years with repeated T levels obtained from October 1, 1994 to December 31, 1999 and without diagnosed prostate cancer
• Low testosterone level = total testosterone less than 250 ng/dLor a free T level of less than 0.75 ng/dL
• Total T= SHBG T +AlbuminT +free T• ½ T bound to SHBG- this T is functionally unaval.• Free T = Albumin bound T and unbound T• Older men have more SHBG, thus less Free T• No true threshold of “hypogonadal” cutoff• Guidelines that if Total <300 = hypogonadal or
Total > 400 is not hypogonadal. Rest is up for interpretation and trial

Contraindications for TRT
Androgens are contraindicated in men with known or suspected carcinoma of the prostate or carcinoma of the breast.
Androgens are “not indicated” for use in women
Obstructive Sleep Anpea

Known Adverse Effects of TRT and Dogma
KNOWNErythorcytosis
More common with IM administration (44% vs 5% of transdermal preparations)
Gynecomastia (T E)BPH- 15% increase in prostate volume but minimal change on AUA
Sx score
DOGMA:Lipids- no adverse effects!Liver- not with IM or dermal Cardiac- Protective!
Better angina free exercise when replacedInjection of T into coronaries- dilation and improved blood flow
Endocrine Society Guidelines. Endocrine Society Guidelines. July 2006July 2006
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Prostate volume and male hormones
• No significant differences in prostate events betw T replacement and placebo
• Typically no change in AUA Sx score while on T replacement
• Men with severe AUA Sx scores (>21) should avoid any additional prostate growth
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
PSA on TRT
• Normal rise of PSA on TRT= 0.2 while T increased from 265 566
• Small prostate volumes had greater relative rise of PSA vs larger glands
• Younger men had greater PSA increase than older men
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Monitoring Men while on Testosterone Replacement
• Maximal PSA elevation is achieved at T at the lower end of normal
• Higher doses of T should not increase PSA after initial elevation
• Therefore, increase of PSA more than 1.0, regardless of starting point is concerning
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Low Testo is a risk factor for prostate cancer
• Men with severely reduced testosterone levels had a significantly higher prostate cancer rate of 20%.

TRT and prostate cancer
• TRT in men with PIN did not have increased development of PCA
• Maximal prostatic saturation of T reached within the prostate at low levels of T
• Esterified* (eg, undecanoate)• Low bioavailability, T levels
• TID, QID dosing
• No diurnal cycle†
• Oral administration
• Not visible to others

Recommendations for Monitoring Older Men During Testosterone Replacement
• Baseline Evaluation• Follow-up at 3, 6, 12 mo and then annually– DRE– PSA, Testo, CBC– AUA Sx score
Bhasin et al. 2003
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Indications for Urologic Evaluation
• PSA >4.0• Increase of PSA >1.0 after 3 or 6 months of T
therapy• PSA velocity >.4ng/ml/yr after 6 months of T
therapy• Change of DRE• AUA Sx score >21

Prostate Cancer
• Screening• Prevention• Treatment options
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Prostate Cancer Screening in Men Over 75
• Recent recommendation to stop screening at age 75– Cancers found at this age are insignificant! – Testing/biopsy and treatment more harmful than ignoring
cancer
Maybe reasonable if mens’ life expectancy remained that is was 40 ys ago (life expectancy = 72)
Just an ignorant, “cost saving” ill-advised RETRACTED
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Prostate Cancer Screening
• 244,000 new cases a year with 38,000 deaths a year
• Death rate down 25% since mass screening with PSA in 1980’s
• PSA blood test– Raw numbers less important than rate of change.
PSA velocity is the most important– So what does a PSA more than 4.0 mean?
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
PSA Screening
• Screening began 1986• High PSA still best predictor for cancer• PSA detects cancer 5-10 ys before exam• Most cancer found by PSA is curable• Regular PSA tests eliminates dying of advanced
prostate cancer.

Prostate Cancer Prevention
• Prostate Cancer Rate not the same between races in USA– White: 101 per 100,000– Black: 137 per 100,00– Asian: 40 per 100,000
Cancer rates are different from nation to nation and from region to region within this nation
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Dietary Fat and Prostate Cancer
• American diet: 30-40% fat– Associated with lower intake of fruits and vegies,
no soy, little fish• Japanese diet: 15% fat– Higher Omega-3 fats (anti-inflammatory)
Soy products, fish NOT meat
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Fruits and Vegetables
• 28 servings of veg/wk 35% reduction of prostate cancer
• Soy products:– Increase estradiol: testo
• Lycopene: effective antioxidant• Best source: Cruciferous vegetables:– Broccoli, cabbage– Men who ate 3 or more servings of crucif veg has
41% reduction of prostate cancer
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Vitamins and Prostate Cancer
• Calcium– High calcium INCREASED prostate cancer 2x– Rec no more than 500mg/day
• Vitamin D (sunlight)– Protective
15 min a day without sunscreen400 IU/day vit D
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Exercise and obesity
• For men over 65 ys: 70% reductive effect with vigorous exercise
• Diet with more than 2400Kcal/day 4x risk of prostate cancer
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
SUMMARY: TESTOSTERONE DEFICIENCY
• Testosterone deficiency may affect as many as 8 million men in the US of all ages
• Testosterone deficiency is observed in men with diabetes, HIV infection, renal failure, cancer and obesity
• Erectile dysfunction may be a symptom of testosterone deficiency
• Viagra® is not a treatment for testosterone deficiency
• A variety of modalities for treating testosterone deficiency are currently available in the US
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
CONCLUSIONS
• Testosterone replacement therapy can increase hormone levels to normal ranges and improve these symptoms
• Transdermal formulations provide testosterone at more natural levels and rhythms compared with oral and intramuscular formulations
• Careful follow-up of PSA levels and hematocrit is an important component of testosterone replacement
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.
ANDROGEN REPLACEMENT: Conclusions: Gestalt
• Replacement has wide benefits for men with TDS– Improved: Mood, behavior, muscle mass, fat distribution,
bone density, cardiovascular risk, sexual response.
Testim has 30% better absorption than other topical options and can salvage “non-responders”
15% of men will not absorb either gel due to skin enzymatic breakdown and will require IM shots.
