The History of Testosterone – From Discovery to Therapy Testosterone injections are now known to be the primary hormone responsible for determining male characteristics. In the earliest history of testosterone, its discovery proved that male parts could be restored when testosterone levels were diminished since it’s been used effectively in hormone therapy.
Its use in clinical, anti-aging therapies is now growing. Ancient cultures practiced castration to produce eunuchs, men who had their testicles removed to improve their specialization as servants. It was seldom chosen by free citizens, except in cases where it led to some benefit of power or prestige within a royal court. Men who had their testicles removed didn’t show typical male characteristics. They had less than average muscle tone, softer skin, higher voices, less body hair, and less libido than men with testicles. The lack of testicles in females and men who were castrated made it pretty clear, even in ancient times, that having testicles was critical for manliness.
The earliest scientific literature around testosterone, associated with naming the chemical compound itself, is dated. ___ experimented on castrated chickens, and capons and administered an isolate extracted from testes. This was before the actual chemical composition of testosterone was known. The observations made on the experimental, castrated chickens made looking into this purified fraction worthwhile; the capons who otherwise wouldn’t begin showing the physical characteristics of roosters. It wasn’t until the development of modern science that testosterone levels in men could be clinically measured.
The first methods of measuring testosterone were too expensive for practical, clinical use. Clinical trials showed that men with hypogonadism, low testosterone, did have lower-than-average testosterone in their blood. A direct correlation between the negative effects of aging on men and having low testosterone was proven.
This proof allowed doctors to put patients on hormone replacement regimens and observe positive results. Today we’re lucky enough to benefit from low-cost, accurate blood tests that are affordable and practical sufficient for every patient to know their testosterone level. Clinics can use this unambiguous measurement to know whether a patient has low T and begin prescribing treatment with certainty that the past hadn’t allowed.
The history of testosterone is an illustration of how modern anti-aging science is evolving. We’re at the frontier of knowing so much about our bodies, how they work, and how to maximize our lives with the power of science literally.
Past generations could only dream about the advances available to us today, which are so easy to take advantage of now. You’re one of the first generations who have this science at their disposal to lengthen and improve lives. Why not become part of the acceleration of life at this step in human history, and enjoy more of it simultaneously? That’s what we’re doing.
