Tribulus terrestris extracts alleviate muscle damage and promote anaerobic performance of trained male boxers and its mechanisms: Roles of androgen, IGF-1 and IGF binding protein-3



5. Conclusion

Taking 1,250 mg capsules containing TT extracts did not change muscle mass and plasma levels of testosterone, DHT, and IGF-1, but significantly alleviated muscle damage and promoted anaerobic performance of trained male boxers, which may be associated with the decrease of IGFBP-3 rather than androgen in plasma.

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.
