Abstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in young adults and represents the first cause of severe handicap, originally non-traumatic (Oh et al., 2018). MS is characterized by the infiltration of auto reactive lymphocytes specific to myelin through the blood–brain barrier, which results in the appearance of inflammatory demyelinating lesions caused by the death of the central nervous system myelinating cells, oligodendrocytes (Oh et al., 2018). There is a prevalence sexual with a ratio of three times more affected women than men. Although MS is more prevalent in women, men generally suffer from more aggressive forms of MS, being associated with a risk factor for worse disability progression (Voskuhl et al., 2020). In men with MS, low testosterone levels resulting from dysfunctions of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, have been associated with neurological disability and worse clinical outcomes, which demonstrates the importance of this sexual hormone in this pathology (Safarinejad, 2008). Correspondingly, in the most used animal model to investigate MS pathology, which is experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, levels of testosterone are markedly reduced (Milosevic et al., 2021). Interestingly, it is possible to reduce the symptoms observed in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice by using testosterone treatment (Zahaf et al., 2023).
