This is a single-center study intended to evaluate prealbumin (transthyretin), a marker of anabolic metabolism, in men with androgen deficiency (Low-T). There is emerging evidence that prealbumin is an indicator of anabolic, versus catabolic, metabolism, and that lower levels may be associated with hypogonadism.
