Organotherapy with testicular tissues was reported by CE Brown-Séquard, who in 1889 at the age of 72 reported that he had reversed his own ageing by using liquid extracts from the testicles of dogs and guinea pigs. Modern workers believe the positive effects reported by Brown-Séquard were placebo in nature; however, his principle of hormonal (testosterone) replacement therapy was correct. or·ga·no·ther·a·py(ōr'gă-nō-thār'ă-pē) |
