Low Testosterone

What Is Testosterone?

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for the stimulation of sexual and reproductive development. In males, they play a key role in developing the reproductive tissues and promoting sexual characteristics. Hypogonadism, or testosterone deficiency syndrome, is a condition in which the body is unable to produce enough testosterone.

Some of the physiological effects of testosterone in male adults include:

• Maintaining reproductive tissues
• Stimulating sexual function
• Increasing body weight and lean body mass
• Maintaining bone mass
• Promoting sebum production and body hair growth

The prevalence of hypogonadism is the highest among middle to older aged males. In a 2010 study, up to 40% of men over the age of 45 may be suffering from hypogonadism.
