Testosterone is the primary sex hormone found in both men and women, which plays an essential role in the development of male reproductive organs like testes and prostate, and also in the promotion of secondary sexual traits, including muscle growth, bone density, and body hair.
Insufficient levels of testosterone can lead to health issues such as frailty and bone loss in men. Moreover, tes
tosterone has pronounced anabolic properties that help to increase muscle mass, protein synthesis, and glycogen supply in muscles, promoting faster recovery.
The hormone controls countless processes in the body and is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. It binds to androgen receptors and can be converted into dihydrotestosterone, a biologically active androgen that has a higher affinity for the receptors.
Testosterone can also be converted to estrogen via aromatization. The hypothalamus-pituitary-testes axis regulates testosterone production and can be suppressed by the administration of exogenous drugs that predominantly activate feedback through estrogens rather than testosterone. Therefore, testosterone drugs are used both by aging individuals suffering from hypogonadism and athletes on steroid cycles.
Medical Use
Testosterone is more than just an anabolic steroid used to build muscle. It is considered an essential medication by the World Health Organization due to its importance in treating various conditions. For example, testosterone is used to treat gender dysphoria, male hypogonadism, and certain types of breast cancer.
As men age, their testosterone levels decrease, leading to various health issues. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is often used to maintain healthy testosterone levels in aging men. Testosterone plays a vital role in cognitive functions such as mood, spatial ability, attention, and memory. Low levels of testosterone have been linked to cognitive decline and possibly dementia.
Both men and women benefit from adequate levels of testosterone, as it promotes health and well-being and helps prevent osteoporosis. Men with low testosterone levels may experience sexual dysfunction, which can be improved with testosterone treatment.
Testosterone for seniors
Men over 35 who report feeling unwell are often advised to have their blood testosterone levels checked, and if it is found to be below 12 nmol/l, they may be recommended hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This decision can have various benefits, such as improving body composition by increasing muscle and decreasing fat, boosting sexual function, and having an overall rejuvenating effect. However, it is important to have a doctor monitor the treatment's effects on the body, such as blood parameters, estradiol and prolactin levels, and gonadotropin production. To determine the appropriate HRT dosage, it is crucial to have a consultation with a doctor who can consider factors like normal and current testosterone levels, body weight, body fat percentage, SHBG, and aromatization process. Dosages for replacement therapy are generally lower than those used by athletes, ranging from 50-200 mg per week. If fertility is a concern, special therapy with gonadotropins may be needed.
Testosterone in sports
s achieved through its anabolic and strong androgenic effects, which stimulate the activation of the AR protein and binding to DNA. While rapid weight gain may occur due to water retention and estrogenic effects, testosterone can still help alleviate joint pain and increase overall exercise performance.
In sports, the recommended dosage of testosterone is typically between 250-500 mg per week, with adjustments made based on the athlete's body weight. Testosterone cycles generally last between 8-10 weeks, followed by post-cycle therapy. It is crucial to monitor estrogen levels during testosterone use to prevent the development of side effects, and aromatase inhibitors may be required.
It's important to note that dosage selection should be left to professionals, and athletes should undergo regular testing to monitor their health. While high level professional athletes may use up to 2000 mg of testosterone per week, increasing the dosage beyond this point will not result in further benefits and may only lead to more side effects.
Steroid profile
• Aromatization (conversion to estrogens) - high
• Suppression of the hypothalamus-pituitary-testicles axis - strong
• Liver toxicity - low
• Method of administration – injections
Testosterone Effects
• Increased muscle mass
• Testosterone is involved in the development of male genital organs, secondary sexual characteristics: low voice, male facial features, male-pattern hair growth, and so on
• Provides spermatogenesis and male behavior(sexual, aggressiveness, resoluteness)
• Increased muscle mass
• Burning fat
• Increase in strength indicators
• Increase libido
• Reducing blood cholesterol levels
• Reducing the risk of heart ischemia and coronary heart disease
• Stimulation of erythropoiesis and male-like distribution of subcutaneous fatty tissue
• Influences nitrogen and phosphorus metabolism
Side effects
• Increased blood pressure
• Increased sexual behaviour
• Hemoconcentration (blood clotting)
• Possibility of blood clots in arterial and venous vessels
• Water accumulation (edema)
• Masculinization
• Aggression, agitation, irritability
• Alopecia (baldness of the scalp)
• Acne (acne)
• Insomnia (rare)
Ester profile
• Duration of action - 2-3 days
• Frequency of injections - every 2 days
• The half-life is 0.8 days
It has a short acting ether. Injections are usually performed every other day. This is one of the main disadvantages of using propionate.
It is believed that short forms of steroids are better suited for cutting purposes, however, these differences become visible only in pre-competition preparation with a low percentage of subcutaneous fat.
The peak of propionate activity occurs on the day of injection and gradually decreases within 24-36 hours after injection.
Pharmaceutical form
Oily solution for injection for intramuscular injection
Contraindications
• Pregnancy
• Known or suspected carcinoma of the prostate or breast
• Breast-feeding
• Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients
How to store
• Do not use after the expiry date
• Store at 8º to 30ºC
• Do not freeze
• Protect from light
