Beneficial early, harmful later: age-dependent effects of testicular factors on male mortality

Laurence T. Maeyens, Nisi Jiang, Ziying Xu, Vivian Diaz, Randy Strong, Shangang Zhao, James F. Nelson

The paper shows that castration at different ages in mice affects male mortality differently, with later castration providing greater survival benefits and suggesting age-dependent effects of testicular factors on longevity.
