Masculinising and feminising hormones such as testosterone and oestrogen respectively are important hormones controlling the amount of muscle, fat and bone in the body. By studying people with conditions such as prostate cancer where these hormone levels are disrupted, we aim to understand how testosterone and oestrogen affects various body systems, which may lead to new treatments for important public health problems of frailty, obesity and heart disease, and osteoporosis.

男性化激素和女性化激素，如睾酮和雌激素，分别是控制体内肌肉、脂肪和骨骼数量的重要激素。通过研究前列腺癌患者，我们的目标是了解睾丸激素和雌激素是如何影响各种身体系统的，这可能会为虚弱、肥胖、心脏病和骨质疏松症等重要的公共卫生问题带来新的治疗方法。
