Exercise Helps, Obesity Hinders Testosterone Replacement Neil Osterweil May 27, 2014 Medscape Multispecialty http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/825736 . .ORLANDO, Florida Men with late-onset hypogonadism who exercise regularly benefit more from testosterone replacement therapy than those who remain sedentary, according to a new study.
.Testosterone levels were significantly higher in the exercise group than in the sedentary group, and the resolution of hypogonadism symptoms was better in the exercise group, said Min Gu Park, MD, from the Department of Urology at Inje University in Seoul, South Korea. In addition, the benefits of exercise remained after replacement therapy was stopped.
.In a separate study looking at predictors of poor response to testosterone therapy, investigators found that nonobese men are much more likely to achieve normal testosterone levels than obese men.
."Weight loss may be as important as prescribing testosterone in the management of low T," said Ashley Winter, MD, a urology resident at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City.
."What this means to us as practitioners is that there is a profound loss of healthcare dollars in treatment of low testosterone because of the epidemic of obesity," she said. "Annually, at least $400 million are spent on men who don't achieve normal levels of T despite treatment."
.Both studies were presented here at the American Urological Association 2014 Annual Scientific Meeting.
