Getting testosterone therapy
Testosterone is a vital sex hormone that plays an important role in puberty. Testosterone can have powerful effects on the body, directing it to make muscle instead of fat. Testosterone is manufactured in the Leydig’s cells of the testes (in men). Testosterone is vital for increasing muscle mass and strength. Testosterone can convert to the female hormone estrogen (via aromatization) by the aromatize enzyme. Testosterone therapy is used to treat a limited number of conditions, particularly male hypogonadism. Low testosterone is also associated with heart attack, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, and depression. Testosterone is also found in numerous animals as well.
