Potential application of testosterone replacement therapy as treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes in men.

abstract：:It has been shown that stress or disease-induced increases in plasma corticosterone result in diminished testosterone secretion from the testes. This article reviews investigations from our laboratories that explore the role of 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11 beta-OHSD) in this process. It is proposed that th...
