Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy, and Safety of a Permeation-Enhanced Testosterone Transdermal System in Comparison with Bi-Weekly Injections of Testosterone Enanthate for the Treatment of Hypogonadal Men
Abstract
The pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of the Androderm testosterone (T) transdermal system (TTD) and intramuscular T enanthate injections (IM) for the treatment of male hypogonadism were compared in a 24-week multicenter, randomized, parallel-group study.Sixty-six adult hypogonadal men (22-65 years of age) were withdrawn from prior IM treatment for 4 -6 weeks and then randomly assigned to treatment with TTD (two 2.5-mg systems applied nightly) or IM (200 mg injected every 2 weeks); there were 33 patients per group.Twenty-six patients in the TTD group and 32 in the IM group completed the study.TTD treatment produced circadian variations in the levels of total T, bioavailable T, dihydrotestosterone, and estradiol within the normal physiological ranges.IM treatment produced supraphysiological levels of T, bioavailable T, and estradiol (but not dihydrotestosterone) for several days after each injection.Mean morning sex hormone levels were within the normal range in greater proportions of TTD patients (range, 77-100%) than IM patients (range, 19 -84%).Both treatments normalized LH levels in approximately 50% of patients with primary hypogonadism; however, LH levels were suppressed to

Effects of testosterone on red blood cell formation (hemoglobin and hematocrit) are dose dependent.
“The effects of testosterone on red blood cell formation (hemoglobin and hematocrit) are dose dependent (14, 82, 83) while higher age is also a factor (44).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
