Zusammenfassung:	The prognostic value of serum total testosterone (TT) prior to treatment has not been investigated. This study was performed to determine how baseline TT influences changes in body composition in men undergoing testosterone therapy (TTh). Response to TTh in a clinical population of men with symptomatic testosterone deficiency (TD). Retrospective case series of 58 men with TD were treated with TTh. All were naïve to previous TTh. Men were stratified into two groups: group 1 (N = 38) consisted of men with baseline TT > 300 ng/dL (10.4 nmol/L) and group 2 (N = 20) consisted of men with total TT
