What you need to know about testosterone

The male hormone testosterone today at all on hearing. But what do we know about him? Does it really cause aggression, increases desire and treats? Try to understand. More testosterone, more aggression, Whence feet grow for this confusion is clear. This idea was announced after a series of experiments in which it was found that castrated male mice are more peaceful than their full counterparts. As for the people, the relationship between this hormone and aggressive behavior has not been proven by doctors. Moreover, numerous experiments suggest otherwise. Especially against such a test: one group of women were given a pill with testosterone and the other a placebo. Those who received the real hormone, calmer and more dignified. From what the doctors have concluded that bad mood and aggression – rather the fault of low testosterone, than high.





Testosterone causes cancer In 1941, Dr. Huggins noticed that one of his patients, a patient with prostate cancer on the background of administration of testosterone increased the level of acid phosphatase of blood – one of the markers of cancer. The doctor declared: "... the testosterone – food for a hungry tumor", and the reputation of the testosterone was tarnished. How not to believe the sun is in 1966, Huggins was awarded the Nobel prize in medicine for establishing the mechanisms of development and progression of prostate cancer. Today the doctors are ready to argue with this statement: recent research has shown that testosterone is "food for a hungry tumor prostate", and the deficit. Otherwise, how to explain, for example, that young people who have no shortage of testosterone almost do not suffer from prostate cancer?

The level of testosterone decreases with the years Not necessarily. On the contrary, in men with healthy testosterone level remains the same even in advanced years. If, nevertheless, reduced testosterone, it's not aged, and in chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Previously it was thought that at the age of 40 in men a decrease in testosterone of 1 percent a year. And we need to live. Australian researchers have refuted this view. In the journal of Clinical Endocrinology was published "a Study of Healthy Men", which stated that the "subjects" over the age of 40 with good or excellent health, "no signs of declining with age". Such conclusions were made on the basis of the experiment, which was attended by 325 healthy men over 40. Each of them for 3 months 9 times handed over a blood test.

Bald means brave
So it happened: bald is good, a lot of testosterone. Where did this misconception is not clear, maybe bald was invented to compensate for the lack of vegetation on the head. Doctors, no evidence for this statement is not found: the analysis of medical records of many thousands of men (both bald and those with a lot of hair), showed that the level of testosterone does not affect the presence of hair on the head. Causes of hair loss can be dozens – ranging from genetic, ending transferred diseases, use of medications, stress, and diet.

A panacea for diseases we Have to treat a testosterone – while not very popular, but in America love it. If you believe their advertising, plasters and gels with testosterone from what did not help: from chronic fatigue and will not leave a trace, with erectile dysfunction in men, cope, and even from the belly relieve! In fact, the use of funds not more testosterone than a placebo according to doctors. Testosterone can slightly increase the libido, but erectile dysfunction is nothing he can do. With regard to excess weight testosterone may slightly reduce basirova body weight, but use it as a drug for weight loss is unscientific. If we talk about fatigue, none of the clinical studies confirmed that the reason for it may lie in reducing the level of testosterone.

Responsible for the passion of Course, libido depends on testosterone, but not to the same extent as we used to think. In this issue, male hormone plays a major role. Libido is stronger affected by other factors, both physical and psychological. Ideas about sex, health, stress level, emotional state and even other hormones have an impact on the need for sex is much more than testosterone. published
