Fig. 3. Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Revised Block Design subtest performance (total<br />

score) by a testosterone-supplemented group of healthy older eugonadal men (solid circles) <strong>and</strong><br />

a placebo group (open circles) at Session 1 (basel<strong>in</strong>e) <strong>and</strong> Session 2 (12 wk of daily 15-mg T sk<strong>in</strong><br />

patch use). The T-treated group demonstrated a significant improvement from basel<strong>in</strong>e compared<br />

to placebo, as evidenced by a significant group by test session <strong>in</strong>teraction F(1,54) = 5.33, p =<br />

0.025. (From ref. 78, reproduced with permission.)<br />

Fig. 4. Change <strong>in</strong> performance after 1 mo of placebo or hormone supplementation (150 mg<br />

<strong>in</strong>tramuscular T enanthate weekly for men <strong>and</strong> 0.625 mg/d conjugated estrogen daily for women)<br />

<strong>in</strong> older subjects (stripped bars) or no treatment <strong>in</strong> the younger subjects (open bars). Older men<br />

on T supplementation showed an improvement <strong>in</strong> performance (fewer errors). Younger subjects<br />

showed the expected improvement on the task because of practice, whereas older subjects,<br />

without hormone supplementation or with estrogen supplementation did not. Brackets show<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard error of the mean. (From ref. 79, reproduced with permission.)
