Funded Activity Summary

Increasing evidence indicates that the heart and blood vessels are able to repair themselves in response to disease. Recent evidence suggests that in men, male sex hormones(e.g. testosterone) may play an important role in helping repair blood vessels. As men get older, their testosterone levels get progressively lower - this lead to impairment of vascular repair mechanisms with aging. We will study the effects of androgens on repair and regeneration of the vasculature.
