Clinical strategies, nutritional or otherwise, employed to ensure the Leydig cells possess the necessary substrates, enzymatic function, and energetic capacity to produce testosterone optimally. This focuses on the biosynthetic pathway integrity.
Origin
This is a direct functional description, combining ‘Testosterone Synthesis,’ the production of the hormone, with ‘Support,’ indicating actions taken to facilitate or optimize that production process.
Mechanism
Support mechanisms involve ensuring adequate cholesterol availability for the initial steps of steroidogenesis and optimizing mitochondrial ATP supply, as steroid hormone synthesis is an energy-intensive process. Furthermore, supporting the HPG axis signaling ensures the necessary luteinizing hormone stimulation is maintained for sustained production.
