Testosterone and Liver Health

Meaning

Testosterone and Liver Health describes the crucial, bidirectional, and highly complex physiological relationship between testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, and the extensive metabolic, synthetic, and detoxification functions of the liver. The liver serves as the main site for the synthesis of key hormone-binding proteins and is primarily responsible for the metabolic clearance and conjugation of testosterone and its various metabolites. Conversely, maintaining optimal testosterone levels is strongly linked to improved hepatic fat metabolism and a reduced risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
