Testosterone (Low-T) and Muscle Mass & Strength

Testosterone (Low-T) and Muscle Mass & Strength

The Right Hormone Can Improve Muscle Mass and Strength

Testosterone is essential in the production of strong and healthy muscles. Reduced muscle mass in men often results from declining testosterone levels. Testosterone therapy and other hormones are directly associated with stimulating protein synthesis in the body and producing muscle tissue. The hormone binds to receptors in the muscle cells, telling muscles to contract and grow. If testosterone is deficient, the body suffers from muscle loss.

After age thirty, testosterone levels show a slow but steady decline. After forty, 0.5- 1.0% of muscle mass is lost yearly. These results are significantly worse in men suffering from low testosterone levels.

The increase in lean body mass, or muscle mass, through testosterone therapy can be highly beneficial. Greater lean body mass helps raise metabolic rate. The higher the resting metabolic rate, the more calories burned while resting. Therefore, testosterone therapy can also assist in avoiding unwanted weight gain.

Testosterone injections and supplements significantly increase lean body mass in men with low testosterone levels. Patients undergoing testosterone replacement therapy can expect to gain between three to six pounds of lean muscle mass during the first six months of their program.

How to Gain Muscle/Lose Fat

Once we hit 30, it’s all downhill for the body. The lean body mass of our organs starts to wilt while the adipose mass, or fat mass, increases. Between the ages of 30 and 75, liver, kidneys, brain, and pancreas atrophy by 30% on average. In men between the ages of 40 and 80, The LBM declines by about 5% per decade and in women by 2.5% per decade. Meanwhile, at the same time, the body fat in both sexes is expanding. By the late 30s, men are starting to gain fat in the gut. The upshot is that men between 30 and 70 don’t gain weight, but women’s mass shrinks by 30%, and the fact expands by 50%. Women, as they age, mainly accumulate fat on their hips. But when women go through menopause, the belly rolls begin for them also.

According to gerontologists, these bodily changes are not just an insult to vanity but a threat to health and longevity. First, the amount of aerobic power is directly connected to the amount of LBM. Second, this shrinkage of the vital organs means that they cannot do their jobs as well, whether it is the heart pumping, the muscles lifting, or the kidneys clearing metabolic wastes from the blood. Third, as the abdominal fat rises, so does the risk of heart attack, hypertension, and diabetes.
