Brief description Obesity, an increasing health and economic burden, is associated with lowered testosterone levels in men. While both dietary restriction and testosterone treatment reduce body fat, whether a combination of these two approaches achieves a more pronounced fat mass reduction is unknown. We will conduct a rigorous 12 month clinical trial of testosterone treatment in 150 obese men with a low testosterone level. All men will receive dietary intervention to induce and maintain weight loss
