“About 10 to 20 percent of men will have low testosterone in their life, and they have at least 11 FDA-approved products,” Casperson says. ... But you can still get testosterone from doctors ...
[170] [176] In men, LH levels increase by up to 800%, while testosterone levels increase to about 140 to 200% of baseline. [177] [176] Gradually however, the GnRH receptor desensitizes; testosterone levels peak after about 2 to 4 days, return to baseline after about 7 to 8 days, and are reduced to castrate levels within 2 to 4 weeks.

Testosterone is a medication and naturally occurring steroid hormone. [9] It is used to treat male hypogonadism, gender dysphoria, and certain types of breast cancer. [9] [10] It may also be used to increase athletic ability in the form of doping. [9]
Testosterone cypionate is a testosterone ester and a long-lasting prodrug of testosterone in the body. [7] [2] [3] Because of this, it is considered to be a natural and bioidentical form of testosterone. [14] Testosterone cypionate was introduced for medical use in 1951.
The two primarily used forms in the United States are the testosterone esters testosterone cypionate (Depo-Testosterone) and testosterone enanthate (Delatestryl or Xyosted) which are almost interchangeable. Testosterone enanthate is purported to be slightly better with respect to even testosterone release, but this is probably more of a concern ...
In mice, prenatal testosterone transfer causes higher blood concentrations of testosterone in 2M females when compared to 1M or 0M females. [6] This has a variety of consequences on later female behavior, physiology, and morphology. Below is a table comparing physiological, morphological, and behavioral differences of 0M and 2M female mice. [1]
In addition, whereas bicalutamide monotherapy can increase testosterone levels by up to 2-fold in men, [64] [76] the medication does not increase testosterone levels in women. [ 77 ] [ 78 ] [ 79 ] For these reasons, much lower dosages of bicalutamide (e.g., 25 mg/day in the hirsutism studies) may be used in women with significant antiandrogenic ...
[2] [27] In addition, while a 60 mg dose has no effect on testosterone levels in men, this dose does measurably increase testosterone levels in prepubertal boys and women. [27] The oral bioavailability of testosterone in young women after a single 25 mg dose was found to be 3.6 ± 2.5%. [29]
