Re: new testosterone+aromatase inhibitor implant relieves symptoms due 2 estrogendefi

In looking at the abstract, that does emphasize the bone/muscle benefit obtained with use of testosterone, as well as enhancing immune function.

From the abstract, "Testosterone-anastrozole therapy was effective in treating symptoms of androgen (hormone) deficiency."

I wonder how that was measured and which symptoms it helped with.
