Testosterone Lipid Effects

Meaning

Testosterone Lipid Effects refer to the documented influence of both endogenous and therapeutic exogenous testosterone on the circulating concentrations and overall profile of plasma lipoproteins, including high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides. As a key androgen, testosterone is a significant regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism, and its clinical use requires careful monitoring of these markers due to their direct association with cardiovascular risk. These hormonal actions contribute to the overall cardiometabolic picture.
