2024
Participants initially went through a dose-titration phase with 2-week intervals of 0.07-0.09-0.13 mL (277-318-403 μg bioavailable testosterone) testosterone 2% gel to establish a dose leading to serum testosterone concentrations between 1.5 and 2.5 nmol/L. (English)

2024
Most participants required a dose of 0.07 mL (277 μg bioavailable testosterone) or 0.09 mL (318 μg bioavailable testosterone) to reach serum testosterone concentrations of 1.5-2.5 nmol/L. (English)
RESULTS (English)
© The Author(s) 2024. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of European Society of Endocrinology. (English)
2024
Continuing this dose, testosterone concentrations remained stable throughout the study. (English)
RESULTS (English)
