Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES I Determine whether testosterone normalization ameliorates muscle protein hypercatabolism by increasing net protein synthesis in men with burn injury

II Determine whether the effectiveness of testosterone is enhanced by stimulation of inward amino acid transport as a consequence of hyperaminoacidemia in these men

III Determine whether testosterone normalization during hospitalization minimizes the need for rehabilitation by increasing net protein synthesis and preserving skeletal muscle in these men

IV Determine whether testosterone normalization after hospital discharge and throughout convalescence increases muscle strength and lean body mass after burn injury by increasing net protein synthesis

V Determine whether testosterone combined with progressive resistance exercise during convalescence confers added benefits on muscle protein synthesis and in turn lean body mass and muscle strength in these patients
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are stratified according to percent of total body surface area TBSA burned no more than 40 vs more than 40

Patients receive standard inpatient burn care During hospitalization patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive testosterone intramuscularly IM weekly for 2-3 weeks during hospitalization

Arm II Patients receive standard care only during hospitalization

After hospital discharge patients with burns covering no more than 40 of TBSA are randomized to arm III IV or V whereas patients with burns covering more than 40 of TBSA are randomized to arm III or V

Arm III Patients receive testosterone IM every 2 weeks for 2 months

Arm IV Patients receive testosterone as in arm III Patients perform progressive resistance weight lifting exercises 3 times a week for 2 months concurrently with testosterone therapy

Arm V Patients receive standard convalescence care only
