In adult men, it can be caused by intrinsic abnormalities in the testes or changes in upstream pituitary or hypothalamic signaling pathways contributing to testosterone biosynthesis. Male hypogonadism driven by age or comorbidities (e.g., obesity or type 2 diabetes) represent the majority of cases of low testosterone in adult men. Testosterone replacement therapy (<abbr data-original-title=\"testosterone replacement therapy\" title=\"\">TRT<\/abbr>), which aims to increase overall serum testosterone levels, is the cornerstone therapy for male hypogonadism and is primarily administered via injection or topical means. However, a key drawback of\u00a0<abbr data-original-title=\"testosterone replacement therapy\" title=\"\">TRT<\/abbr>s is decreased spermatogenesis, and some alternative therapies for low testosterone focus on the stimulation of gonadotropins in an effort to preserve fertility.
