AMYOTROPHY
The metabolism of muscle is influenced by
testosterone
that
increases the quantity of
specific contractile proteins.
Testosterone increases also the input of
glycogen into muscle cells. Glycogen constitutes
fuel or energy for muscle's
contraction. The link between glycogen and
testosterone during exercise is reported by F.
Plas from the University Hospital
Pitié-Salpêtrière in Paris, in 1978 (1).
During andropause disease,
muscles are
weak and exercise aggravates the loss of
testosterone. In this situation any intensive
sport is dangerous even the jogging.
Heart that is also a muscle is deprived of its fuel and
heart attacks
or even sudden death may
occur at any moment
The detection of
androgens' insufficiency is done by the study of
the
pool of
androgens.
