An observational study of men on testosterone replacement therapy shows positive results. The abstract says:

"In a single center study, the authors treated 69 men with testosterone deficiency syndrome (TDS). The average age was 57.84 years and the follow-up period was 94.62 months. All the men were treated with three-month i.m. injections of 1000 mg testosterone undecanoate. All of the men on treatment felt much better. Weight and waist circumference during monitoring showed a mild improvement. Excellent results were on red blood cells. Glucose, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides had stable values. PSA slightly increased and testosterone was within the normal range. In two men during treatment, we found a prostate cancer (low risk). Bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine revealed a significant improvement. TRT had multiple positive effect on affected men with TDS. Our long-term results showed a long mild improvement during the time. Authors concluded that long term treatment had multiple benefit for affected men."

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
