Implication

Randomized trial assessed impacts of testosterone on body composition and neurobehavioral outcomes in young men, highlighting potential benefits and risks.

Key Points

Testosterone treatment increased lean body mass by 2.5 to 3.8 kg compared to placebo, yet fat loss remained similar across groups.
Despite gains in lean mass, muscle strength and lower-limb function did not show improvement, indicating limited functional benefits.
Testosterone use preserved nitrogen balance and altered neurobehavioral responses, including increased self-reported anger during provocation tasks.
Short-term safety was acceptable, with no serious adverse events but noted suppression of gonadotropins and increased hemoglobin levels.
