Πτώση Επιπέδων Τεστοστερόνης Στον Πληθυσμό

[kostas69]

Σε μια σχετική μελέτη παρατηρήθηκε ότι τα τελευταία 20 χρόνια έχουν μειωθεί τα μέσα επίπεδα τεστοστερόνης στο γενικό πληθυσμό και ειδικότερα σε μεγαλύτερες ηλικίες. Αναφέρεται βέβαια σε Αμερικάνους αλλά είναι προφανές οτι ισχύει σε όλο το δυτικό κόσμο.

Factors That Lower Testosterone Levels

• Chronic diseases including obesity and diabetes.
• Too much aromataste enzyme.
• Too much sex-hormone binding globulin.
• Abnormal liver function.
• Narcotic pain medication use.
• Declining DHEA levels.

Chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity inhibit LH (lutenizing hormone). LH stimulates the testes to make testosterone. Therefore, diabetics and obese individuals make less testosterone.

Aromatase is an enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen, thus decreasing testosterone levels. Aromatase levels are high in belly fat providing another reason why over fat individuals have lower testosterone levels. Aromatase activity can be blocked with certain medications called aromatase inhibitors.

Sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) that binds testosterone making it unavaiable for the body to use. SHBG naturally increases with age. Fish oil and vitamin D can lower SHBG. Stinging nettle and Muira puama, two herbs, are reported lower SHBG. Sugar increase SHBG. So avoid sugar as much as possible.

Abnormal liver function hinders the removal of SHBG. A healthy liver removes SHBG making more testosterone available to the body. Liver function can be adversely affected by medications, alcohol, and infection.

Narcotic pain medications inhibit LH just like diabetes and obesity do leading to lower testosterone levels. The effect of these narcotic pain medications on testosterone levels is not well recognized by the medical community.

DHEA is a hormone that can be converted into estrogen or testosterone. DHEA levels begin to decline in both men and women during the early 20s. DHEA has many of its own health benefits. However, DHEA supplementation in men does not lead to significant improvement in testosteone levels. But, it can raise testosterone levels enough in women to be used for that sole purpose.
