Testosterone and Collagen

Meaning

Testosterone and Collagen describes the endocrinological relationship between the primary male sex hormone and the most abundant structural protein in the human body, particularly concerning its synthesis and maintenance in tissues like skin, bone, and connective tissue. Testosterone exerts a potent anabolic effect, stimulating fibroblasts and osteoblasts to increase collagen production, thereby contributing to dermal thickness, bone matrix strength, and tendon resilience. This interaction is fundamental to maintaining musculoskeletal and integumentary integrity across the male lifespan.
