ABSTRACT:
A method for increasing fertility in males with impairment of testosterone synthesis, comprising the step of injecting slow-release microcapsules or microspheres containing testosterone directly into the testes. The testosterone-laden microcapsules or microspheres act as temporary Leydig cells and release testosterone directly into the testicular parenchyma and maintain high intratesticular concentrations of testosterone needed for spermatogenesis.
