Ratio of CRH-stimulated cortisol and ACTH values (mean ± SE) during induced hypogonadal (leuprolide plus placebo) and testosterone replaced (leuprolide plus testosterone) conditions. A trend is seen for lower cortisol:ACTH ratios during the testosterone replacement condition. This trend suggests that testosterone reduces the adrenal response to ACTH.
