Reproductive endocrinology: Estrogens--not just female hormones

Alvin M Matsumoto. Nat Rev Endocrinol. 2013 Dec.

Abstract

In a carefully conducted, outstanding example of clinical research, Finkelstein et al. clearly demonstrate the physiological underpinnings for the action of testosterone and the relative roles of its androgenic and estrogenic effects on body composition and sexual function. This study has important clinical implications for testosterone replacement therapy of male hypogonadism.
