Testosterone Replacement Therapy Slows Progression of Alzheimer's Disease in Mice
In mice trials, scientists have shown that testosterone treatment may help prevent the progression of Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
The mice with lowered testosterone showed increases in levels of the protein beta-amyloid, which has been widely implicated as playing a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. They also showed signs of behavioral impairment.
The mice that were given testosterone showed reduced accumulation of beta-amyloid and less behavioral impairment.

The scientists will next look at long term effects of testosterone therapy are in aging men.
