Brief description Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious public health problem associated with increased sleepiness, heart disease and metabolic dysfunction. Obesity and male gender are important predisposing factors for OSA. This study will determine if short-term testosterone therapy can help improve OSA in men who are also dieting and exercising. It will also determine the genetic mechanisms by which testosterone might influence breathing during sleep and obesity.
