Hasta la testosterona debe ser algo regulado y no tanto maximizado. Puede no ser saludable a ciertos niveles. https://t.co/9ZTN3EnxFy

Research suggests that when testosterone steroids are given to older men with mobility issues cardiovascular issues can result. However, in this study, the participants who received the drug performed better on leg and chest presses. https://t.co/g44enQzc0m

Abstract Synopsis

Testosterone supplementation can improve muscle strength and physical function in older men but may pose safety risks.
In a study of men aged 65 and older with mobility issues, those using testosterone gel experienced significantly more cardiovascular-related adverse events than those using a placebo, leading to early trial termination.
Despite some functional benefits, the increased risk of serious heart and other adverse events suggests caution when considering testosterone treatment for older men with chronic health conditions.
