| Although is is the main male sex hormone, it plays key roles in both males and females such as enhancing libido, energy, and immune function, and protecting against osteoporosis. Source; History Testosterone comes primarily from the testes of males and the ovaries of females, with small amounts being secreted by the adrenal glands. Replacement therapy can take the form of injectables (such as testosterone cypionate or testosterone enanthate in oil), transdermal patches, creams and gels, subcutaneous pellets and oral therapy. At the time of writing, new delivery methods are being developed, including a "roll on" and a nasal spray. As a prescription, it is available as a patch, a pill, under the tongue and as an injection. Anabolic steroids such as testosterone have been taken to enhance muscle development, strength, and/or endurance. Not only does the testosterone cause improvement of hot flashes, but it increases general well being and libido, induces weight loss if obese and helps in preventing and treating osteoporosis. Some doctors have noted that since the advent of Viagra, men have stopped asking for repeat prescriptions of testosterone. Side-Effects Testosterone use involves relatively high rates of side-effects or problems. |
