mirabegron and testosterone-undecanoate

Androgen deficiency has been implicated in urological complications of postmenopausal women. This study examined the effects of testosterone replacements on the lower urinary tract dysfunction in 4-month old ovariectomized (OVX) rats.. Sprague-Dawley female rats were OVX bilaterally. Three months later, rats received single intramuscular injections of testosterone undecanoate. Cystometric study, and bladder and urethra smooth muscle reactivities were evaluated.. The improvement of micturition dysfunction by testosterone replacement suggests that androgen therapy might be of therapeutic benefit for urological complications associated with post-menopause.
