Background: Men are less susceptible to many autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS). Possible causes for this include sex hormones and/or sex chromosome effects. Testosterone treatment ameliorates experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of MS, but the effect of testosterone supplementation on men with MS is not known. Design, Setting and Participants: Ten men with relapsing remitting MS were studied using a crossover design whereby each patient served as his own control. There was a six-month pretreatment period followed by a twelve month period of daily treatment with 100mg of testosterone gel. Main Outcome Measures: Brain atrophy and Cognitive testing
