The Truth About Testosterone Decrease

Why Does Testosterone Decrease | The Truth About Testosterone

HPTA = Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal Axis

This axis produces circulating steroids necessary for male sexual function, fertility, and development. The prostate and penis are steroid-sensitive organs impacted by the regulation of the HPTA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwmVU8HJpm4&list=PLFbLg_bIQgxAypq3qyoG7H6j9q8mWNmDT

This reproductive axis consists of three parts:

  • Hypothalamus – produces GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone)
  • Pituitary Gland – GnRH sent to the pituitary gland stimulates gonadotropic hormones LH and FSH synthesis and release.
  • Testis – Gonads carry LH to the testis, encouraging testosterone production through the testicular Leydig cells.
  • Conversion of cholesterol produces testosterone.
  • FSH is crucial for spermatogenesis

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the activated 2% of testosterone is free or unbound, with the remainder bound to SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin), albumin- and cortisol-binding globulin. Bioavailable testosterone is the testosterone that will not attach to SHBG. Testosterone and DHT act on organs.

  • Causes the development of secondary sexual characteristics
  • Inhibit secretion of LH and FSH by the pituitary gland, thus stopping further testosterone production = negative feedback loop.
  • There exist androgen receptors in the pituitary and the

hypothalamic neurons that bind to testosterone and signal to stop GnRH release. Homeostasis is maintained through this loop – once testosterone stops production, this inhibited secretion stops, and GnRH again causes LH and FSH release to produce further testosterone. As men age, they undergo hormonal level changes:

  • Testosterone decrease
  • LH and FSH increase
  • Other hormones that decrease: T3, insulin, growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor 1, stimulating thyroid hormone
  • Also, an increase in SHBG
  • Dihydrotestosterone levels are unchanged
  • Estrogen levels unchanged

As men age, the decrease in testosterone paired with the increase in SHBG leads to a decline in free or bioavailable testosterone. These hormonal changes start in the 30s and are established by the 50s.
