The testosterone patch for women [PDF]
Has the FDA discriminated against female sexual dysfunction by not endorsing Procter & Gamble's (P&G) Intrinsa? Has the pendulum swung so far to the right that drugs for sexual medicine receive undue scrutiny? Why is testosterone replacement therapy available for men, but not for women?

Throat patch size and darkness covaries with testosterone in females of a sex-role reversed species [PDF]
In male birds, size and blackness of melanin-based ornaments may signal competitive ability and quality. Testosterone is an important physiological mediator of these signals as these ornaments are testosterone dependent. Experimental manipulation of circulating testosterone in females suggests that similar mechanisms are at work in plumage ornaments of

A Pilot Study of an Investigational Testosterone Transdermal Patch System in Young Women with Spontaneous Premature Ovarian Failure [PDF]
Context: Evidence suggests that young women with spontaneous premature ovarian failure (sPOF) have significantly lower androgen levels than age-matched regularly menstruating women. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate an investigational testosterone transdermal patch (TTP) designed to deliver the normal ovarian ...

Testosterone patch improves ovarian follicular response to gonadotrophins in a patient with Kallmann's syndrome: a case report. [PDF]
Achieving ovulation in women with Kallmann's syndrome requires both exogenous FSH and LH to successfully stimulate follicular maturation and ovarian steroidogenesis. We present a case of a woman with Kallmann's syndrome, who had poor ovarian response to stimulation by exogenous gonadotrophins.

Double-blind placebo-controlled study of testosterone patch therapy on bone turnover in men with borderline hypogonadism. [PDF]
SummaryClinical studies suggest there may be a threshold concentration of serum testosterone below which replacement will result in skeletal and psychological benefit. We evaluated the response to testosterone in men with borderline hypogonadism. A randomized double‐blind placebo‐controlled trial in 39 men over age 40 years presenting with sexual ...
