Skeletal muscle androgen receptor expression increases with acute exercise in correlation to free testosterone. [24] When comparing men and women in the 30-, 50-, and 70-year age groups, young and middle aged men showed increased testosterone after exercise, with the latter also having increased cortisol. Elderly men showed no change. [25]
But when considering calculated free testosterone, luteinizing hormones, and sex hormone-binding globulin levels, up to 20.2 percent of men would qualify as having subsets of the condition, like ...

Research shows that older men and women with low testosterone have lower red blood cell counts and an increased risk of developing anemia. Anemia can produce symptoms like fatigue, weakness, loss ...
In males, a type of myopathy can result from androgen deficiency known as testosterone deficiency myopathy or (hypogonadotropic) hypogonadism with myopathy. Signs and symptoms include elevated serum CK , symmetrical muscle wasting and muscle weakness (predominantly proximal ), a burning sensation in the feet at night, waddling gait , and ...
Besides testosterone, other androgens include: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal cortex from cholesterol. [5] It is the primary precursor of both the androgen and estrogen sex hormones. DHEA is also called dehydroisoandrosterone or dehydroandrosterone.
The weight-low testosterone connection is an “interesting paradox,” says Anthony Hackney, Ph.D., D.Sc., a professor of exercise physiology and nutrition at the University of North Carolina ...
The free androgen index is intended to give a guide to the free testosterone level, but it is not very accurate (especially in males — see endocrine society commentary below). Consequently, there are no universally agreed 'normal ranges', and levels slightly above or below quoted laboratory reference ranges may not be clinically significant.
