Abstract in brief

  • The study found that giving older men testosterone for 6 months increased their muscle mass, strength, and muscle protein synthesis, mainly by reducing muscle protein breakdown.
  • Testosterone treatment also boosted the levels of important growth-related proteins like androgen receptor and IGF-I, which support muscle growth.
  • Overall, the research suggests that near-normal increases in testosterone can help improve muscle health and function in older men.]
