Brief description of study

This study is being done to find out more about how taking testosterone affects heart health.

Detailed description of study

Participants will be asked to complete two study visits. During each visit, researchers will draw a few tubes of blood, ask participants to complete questionnaires, and perform some medical tests. The medical tests will record heart beats, your exercise tolerance, the ways that you exercise, how your heart is working and the size of your heart. We will also test your blood for hormone levels, cholesterol, your immune responses (how your body helps you not get sick), and your red blood cell counts. This information is important in helping people understand how their heart health may change when they start taking testosterone.
