• W3096291330 abstract "Men experience a gradual decline in their testosterone levels as they grow older. However, the effects of testosterone and the consequences of supplementation on the human body have been unclear. Scientists use so-called randomized controlled trials to establish cause-and-effect and to reduce bias. In these experiments, participants are randomly assigned to a either a treatment group (that receives the intervention being tested) or a control group (that either receives an alternative intervention, a dummy or placebo, or no intervention at all). Randomization ensures that both groups are balanced, and any resulting differences can be attributed to the treatment. However, randomized controlled trials are time-consuming and expensive, so trials of testosterone have had relatively small numbers of participants and short follow-up periods. This makes it difficult to draw conclusions about any potential effects of testosterone administration on less common diseases in men. Now, Paré et al. investigated the effects of naturally produced testosterone using Mendelian randomization, which mimics randomized trials by exploiting the fact that parents randomly pass on their unique genetic variants to their children at conception. This random assignment of genetic variants leads to its informal namesake, “nature’s clinical trial”, and provides the ability to study cause-and-effect for any genetically determined factors, such as testosterone levels. Paré et al. studied the long-term effects of testosterone on 22 diseases previously explored in randomized controlled trials, and hundreds of other traits and diseases that have not been investigated in any randomized controlled trials yet. The Mendelian randomization analysis made it possible to examine the effects of lifelong naturally elevated testosterone levels on 469 traits and diseases. Paré et al. found that testosterone increased the density of bone mineral and decreased body fat. However, it also increased the risks of prostate cancer, high blood pressure, baldness and a condition affecting the spine. It also increased the number of red blood cells and decreased a marker of inflammation, which may be beneficial or detrimental depending on the context. This shows that genetic analyses can be powerful methods to prioritize the allocation of limited resources towards investigating the most pressing clinical questions. The results of this study may help inform physicians and patients about the effects of long-term testosterone use. Ultimately, large randomized controlled trials are needed to conclusively address the cause-and-effect on these diseases." @default.
