Male Testosterone

Testosterone in men truly is the life source for the male body. It is what makes a man a man. Produced primarily in the testes by specialized Leydig cells, male testosterone travels through the body via the bloodstream and binds to receptors on target tissues. There are male testosterone receptors through out the body, but the largest concentration is in the heart and brain. When male testosterone levels dip with age, receptor sites can not absorb adequate amounts of testosterone leading to fatigue, erectile dysfunction, low sex drive, muscle loss, and many more symptoms of male menopause. Decline in male testosterone begins in the late 20’s, symptoms can usually be felt by age 35. The good news. It can be easily and safely fixed.

Facts About Testosterone in Men

• Fact: The male hormone testosterone is an anabolic steroid. “Steroid” is a word that engenders negative connotations with some men who follow sports, but the bodies of both men and women produce anabolic steroid (testosterone) naturally. Men, however, require it to live. The negative connotation of anabolic steroids comes from athletes and body builders using combinations of synthetic testosterone for performance enhancement—a practice called “stacking.” Our doctors do not use synthetics in male testosterone treatment and they do not stack testosterone in men.
• Fact: If done correctly, there are no testosterone side effects in men from hormone therapy. It is safe and more importantly, it is healthy. In fact, restoring testosterone in men to pre andropause testosterone levels is vital to a man’s health and avoiding chronic illness as he ages. See Hormones and Aging.
• Fact: Testosterone does not cause prostate cancer. See cause of prostate cancer. Also See Estrogen in men
• Fact: Replacing testosterone should be done in conjunction with balancing other hormones. See Hormone Balance This balance is particularly important with male thyroid.
• Fact: Testosterone is the feel good, sex drive hormone for men. With male hormone therapy you will feel better in 1 to 2 weeks and with proper lifestyle of diet and exercise, you will feel like a reNEW MAN 3 to 5 weeks.
• Fact: Symptoms of andropause and the symptoms of low testosterone are very similar. The reason for this is the symptoms of andropause are caused by the imbalance of several hormones, but the most important is testosterone.

How Male Testosterone Works

Testosterone in men is produced in the Leydig cells in the testicles in response to a hormone called Luteinizing Hormone (LH). LH is produced in the pituitary gland, which acts like a hormone thermostat. As the pituitary senses the body’s need for testosterone, it releases LH to stimulate the testicles to produce testosterone in men. Low male testosteroneoccurs as a result of 1) the aging of the Leydig cells in the testicles and 2) as a result of a decline in the pituitary gland’s ability to produce LH. The result is a low testosterone in men Decline starts about age 27 or 28 and its effects, or symptoms of male menopause are usually noticeable by age 35. If you are experiencing symptoms, it is important to get tested for low testosterone.

Testing Male Testosterone Levels

Lab testing for male testosterone produces three numbers: total testosterone, free testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Total testosterone is the number most commonly used and quoted by inexperienced doctors,(See Below Male Testosterone Chart By Age ). The problem with testing for total testosterone is that the majority of testosterone in any human body is bound to protein molecules by SHBG and is totally inactive in the body. Only testosterone that has become free testosterone is active in the body (see male testosterone treatment). The measurement of free testosterone is the key to testing and treatment.

Andropause (Male Menopause) and Male Testosterone

Most men start to feel the effects of low testosterone and andropause, as free testosterone levels decline to below 130pg. The doctors at reNEW replace testosterone to levels in men to at least 200pg and as high as 250 to 350pg of free testosterone – where most men seem to feel their best. The so-called “normal” range for free testosterone is 80pg to 350pg (Note: range may vary depending on the lab doing the testing). Important: Don’t let your doctor tell you “you have normal testosterone for your age”. If you test at the middle or lower end of the range, and more importantly, if you are having male menopause symptoms, you need to investigate male testosterone therapy.

Male Testosterone Decline

Though individual men differ, the following table of testosterone decline in men is based on over 13 years of doing hormone therapy. The numbers include both total and free testosterone. The more important number is the free testosterone. The total is included here because it is the number most men are familiar with, and it is the number that doctors who are not knowledgeable about male hormone testing and treatment tend to focus on.

Male Testosterone Chart By Age

Because low testosterone levels can lead to serious health concerns in men, it’s important to have your testosterone checked. If you are experiencing any symptoms of andropause, then you probably have “low testosterone” and your testosterone levels have declined with age. Most men will be able perceive low male testosterone symptoms at about 130pg of free testosterone, and these symptoms intensify as testosterone continues to decline.
