Effects of testosterone and oestrogen on body composition [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Ada Cheung (Principal investigator)

Brief description Masculinising and feminising hormones such as testosterone and oestrogen respectively are important hormones controlling the amount of muscle, fat and bone in the body. By studying people with conditions such as prostate cancer where these hormone levels are disrupted, we aim to understand how testosterone and oestrogen affects various body systems, which may lead to new treatments for important public health problems of frailty, obesity and heart disease, and osteoporosis.
