Zusammenfassung
Die Historie des Testosterons ist eng verbunden mit der Anwendung von Aphrodisiaka, der Erforschung der Geschlechtsdifferenzierung sowie den verschiedenen Verjüngungstherapien um 1900. Eine chemische Isolation und Synthese von Androgenen gelang zwischen 1931 und 1935 und ermöglichte erst seit dieser Zeit eine klinisch effektive Substitutionstherapie des Hypogonadismus.
Abstract
The history of testosterone is closely connected with the application of aphrodisiacs, research on sexual differentiation, and several therapies for rejuvenation around the year 1900. Chemical isolation and synthesis of androgens was achieved between 1931 and 1935 and only since then has clinically effective substitution therapy with testosterone for hypogonadism been available.
