1 Anabolic steroid–induced hypogonadism: diagnosis and treatment
Cyrus D. Rahnema, B.S., Larry I. Lipshultz, M.D., Lindsey E. Crosnoe, B.S., Jason R. Kovac, M.D., Ph.D., Edward D. Kim, M.D.  Fertility and Sterility  Volume 101, Issue 5, Pages (May 2014) DOI: /j.fertnstert Copyright © 2014 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Illustrates the pathophysiology of anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS)–induced hypogonadism (ASIH) and the mechanism of action of selected treatment strategies. Recovery therapy focuses on estrogen blockade at the level of the hypothalamus to encourage GnRH pulsation and gonadotropin release to restart the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and increase testosterone production.
