Abstract in brief

The study investigated whether reducing natural testosterone levels in healthy young men would affect their ability to develop strength and muscle mass through training, by using a drug called goserelin to suppress testosterone production.
Results showed that men who had suppressed testosterone did not improve their strength or muscle size after training, unlike those who received a placebo; their leg lean mass increased less and body fat actually increased.
The findings suggest that natural testosterone production is crucial for the body’s response to strength training, influencing gains in strength and muscle growth.

@jessdkant @SnowBrooks_ @KirstiMiller30 @TheTominators @MelloMikado @fem_mb I'll be glad to help you understand. Here is an example of applicable randomized clinical trial. The research is limited and so more is needed to he able to say there is or isn't a discrimatory advantage to trans vs cis women. Which is the point. https://t.co/HbtTCLCjQT
