Testosterone and Mitochondrial Function

Meaning

Testosterone and Mitochondrial Function describes the critical, synergistic relationship where the androgen hormone testosterone directly influences the efficiency and biogenesis of mitochondria, the cellular powerhouses. Optimal testosterone levels are essential for maintaining mitochondrial density, enhancing oxidative phosphorylation, and ensuring efficient ATP production, particularly in muscle, bone, and brain tissues. This hormonal-cellular axis is fundamental to vitality, energy levels, and metabolic health.
