Popis: Purpose: Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can potentially cause decreased spermatogenesis and subsequent infertility. Recent studies have suggested that 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) is a reliable surrogate for intratesticular testosterone (ITT) that is essential for spermatogenesis. We evaluated data from two ongoing open-label, randomized, two-arm clinical trials amongst different treatment preparations (Trial I) subcutaneous testosterone pellets (TP) and (Trial II) intranasal testosterone (NT) or intramuscular testosterone cypionate (TC). Materials and Methods: Seventy-five symptomatic hypogonadal men (2 serum testosterone
