| Some General Thoughts on Testosterone
|
|
A study in the
New England Journal of Medicine showed that weekly injections of 500 mL
of testosterone added an average of more than one pound of lean body
mass a week to male weight lifters out muscling fellow weight lifters
who received a placebo. It also increased the size of the triceps and
quadriceps of a second group of men who didnt exercise.
As men age
there is a gradual decline in testosterone levels. In the late forties
and early fifties the levels are about a third to a half of what they
were in the 20s. By the age of eighty to ninety testosterone has
decreased by about 60%
There is a male
version of menopause called andropause. When women go through menopause
there is no confusing it because their periods stop. However with men
the symptoms are not as obvious. These include reduced sex drive,
erectile dysfunction, and decreased sexual satisfaction, fatigue,
depression, irritability, aches and pains and stiffness.
In
one double blind study 12 out of 13 men could tell they were on the
active drug because they felt more aggressive and energetic. They also
said they performed better sexually, were initiating sex more, and
could maintain erections longer

| Low testosterone affects a third of young men with type 2 diabetes
|
New research has revealed that approximately one third of men aged 18-35 with type 2 diabetes have low testosterone levels.
Dr.
Paresh Dandona and colleagues from the State University of New York at
Buffalo measured circulating testosterone levels in 38 men with type 1 diabetes and 24 men with type 2 diabetes. Results showed that testosterone levels were significantly lower in participants with type 2 diabetes than they were in men with type 1 diabetes. 33% of participants with type 2 diabetes were
found to have low testosterone levels, whilst 58% had testosterone
levels that were below normal for their age. In comparison, just 8%
type 1 diabetic patients had testosterone levels below the lower limit
of normal.
