Reading Time: 2 minutesContext Steroid 5-reductase inhibitors are used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia, but the role of 5-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in mediating testosterone's effects on muscle, sexual function, erythropoiesis, and other androgen-dependent processes remains poorly understood. Objective To determine whether testosterone's effects on muscle mass, strength, sexual function, hematocrit level, prostate volume, sebum production, and lipid levels are attenuated when its conversion to DHT is blocked by dutasteride (an inhibitor of 5-reductase type 1 and 2). Design, Setting, and Patients The 5-Reductase Trial was a randomized controlled trial of healthy men aged 18 to 50 years comparing placebo plus testosterone … Read more »

"I do feel I am the person I was at 18 years old," he said. "I look great. I feel great and, you know, I am more active. I got more energy." Frank says the transformation started the day after he started testosterone replacement therapy, … Read more »

Reading Time: < 1 minuteBy Marcus Johnson Products marketed at middle aged western men looking to increase their energy levels, strength, and libidos have surged in recent years. Many of these products include testosterone therapy.

Reading Time: < 1 minuteAll about testosterone and sexuality in men. TESTOSTERONE is a hormone produced naturally in the body. In men, it comes mainly from the testis. The adrenal glands also produce small amounts of testosterone. Many do not know this but testosterone is not exclusively a male hormone. Testosterone is also produced in women, mainly in the ovaries, but the amount of testosterone is much lower as compared to men. Testosterone causes increased muscle bulk as well as the growth of bones. In men, it helps in the development of male sex organs (penis and prostate). The deepening of the voice in … Read more »

Steroid hormones trigger changes in the body's cells that are crucial for a variety of life-sustaining functions, including reproduction and stress response. Researchers want to understand exactly how the body produces these hormones in order to develop better treatments for steroid hormone disorders such as hypogonadism and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, … Read more »

Last year they spent 100-million dollars. And sales are soaring, topping two billion dollars in 2012. But Consumer Reports says most men dont need testosterone treatments. Even if youre worried about erectile dysfunction, treatment with testosterone usually isnt the answer.

Lead researcher Maarten Boksem of Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) in the Netherlands, said that they hypothesized that testosterone could perhaps also lead to prosocial behaviour if such behaviour would be beneficial for maintaining or obtaining social status. To test this hypothesis, the researchers had 54 female volunteers ingest a liquid solution several hours before participating in an investing game - some volunteers received a placebo solution, while others received a solution with added … Read more »
