    TLDR Blocking testosterone action may improve breathing during NREM sleep in healthy men.
    The study suggested that blocking the action of testosterone through the 5α-reductase pathway could improve breathing stability during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in healthy men. This finding indicated a potential new therapeutic approach for treating central sleep apnea in certain populations.
