Description

We are recruiting individuals with or without prostate cancer to participate in a research study to help us understand how androgen deprivation therapy affects cardiovascular health. Men with prostate cancer will be studied at the start and after 2 months of androgen deprivation therapy. Healthy men without prostate cancer will be studied before and after 2 months of sex hormone suppression or placebo. Main procedures include: Assessment of bone mineral density and body composition, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, microneurography, glomerular filtration rate (iohexol clearance), renal plasma flow (paraminohippurate clearance)
