Methods of treating or reducing the risk of one or more effects or signs
of induced hypogonadism after androgen or GnRH intake are disclosed
herein. In an embodiment, a method of treating one or more effects after
androgen or gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue intake
comprises administering to a male subject at least one of a blocking
compound which antagonizes estradiol binding to estradiol receptors or an
inhibitor compound which inhibits endogenous production of estradiol,
after androgen or gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue intake,
to treat the one or more effects. The one or more effects include adverse
body composition changes, decreased muscle strength, or both. The
inhibitor compound and/or blocking compound may include antiestrogen
