TRT and Insulin Sensitivity

Meaning

TRT and Insulin Sensitivity describes the critical clinical relationship detailing how Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) specifically influences the body’s responsiveness to insulin, the primary hormone regulating blood glucose. In men diagnosed with hypogonadism and its associated metabolic dysfunction, appropriate and optimized TRT is consistently observed to significantly enhance systemic insulin sensitivity. This leads directly to improved glucose uptake by muscle and fat cells and ultimately results in better overall glycemic control, underscoring the profound metabolic role of testosterone beyond its traditional androgenic effects.
