Let’s start with what is testosterone?
According to research, Testosterone therapy can improve cognitive function, including memory and concentration. Testosterone is a sex hormone for males which is critical in developing male reproductive tissues and maintaining secondary sexual characteristics, such as muscle mass and strength, body hair, and a deep voice. Testosterone is produced primarily in the testes, but small amounts are also in the adrenal glands.
What is the normal level of Testosterone?
The normal level of testosterone levels in men is somewhere between 300 and 1,000 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). However, what is considered low Testosterone levels in men can vary depending on a person’s age, sex, and overall health. A testosterone level of less than 300 ng/dL is considered low.
The normal levels of Testosterone in men are controlled by a delicate balance of hormones and chemicals produced in the brain and other body parts. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland regulate testosterone levels by producing hormones that stimulate or inhibit testosterone production in the testes.
