Consuming 75g of sugar can drop testosterone by 25% as insulin disrupts the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis, hindering brain-testicle communication. The effect lasts a few hours Avoid sugar spikes before workouts or testosterone blood tests https://t.co/ujWSrJqroC @Mangan150

Sladké z nás dělá menší muže. Požití glukózy vyvolává u mužů významné snížení hladiny celkového a volného testosteronu. Akutní příjem 75 g glukózy je spojeno se sníženými hladinami testosteronu o 25 % i dvě hodiny po konzumaci. https://t.co/OwPTjF3TYX
