Abstract
The effects of pharmacological stimulation or blockade of adrenergic receptors on
plasma testosterone levels were studied in healthy men subjected to bicycle ergometer
exercise. Plasma testosterone increase after exercise was of shorter duration when
the alpha-blocker phentolamine was applied, whereas treatment with the alpha-agonist
clonidine was without any effect. Blockade of beta-receptors by propranolol inhibited
the testosterone response to exercise.
