What does testosterone acetate do?
With its blend of slow and fast-acting esters, Deposterona is essentially a low dosed alternative to Sustanon and is used primarily to treat impotence, weakness, fatigue, and hypogonadism in male breeding animals (cows, pigs, canines, and sheep), and also as a general protein-sparing anabolic.
How much testosterone should I inject?
Your doctor will decide a dosage based on your needs. In general, the dosage is 50–400 mg injected into your muscle every 2–4 weeks. Dosage increases: Your doctor may adjust your dosage based on your testosterone blood levels, response to treatment, and side effects.
What is the half-life of testosterone?
The half-life of testosterone cypionate when injected intramuscularly is approximately eight days. In many tissues the activity of testosterone appears to depend on reduction to dihydrotestosterone, which binds to cytosol receptor proteins.
What is the difference between testosterone cypionate and testosterone propionate?
Testosterone cypionate shows the same kinetic profile as enanthate. Testosterone propionate must be injected every 2–3 days, but testosterone enanthate (doses of 200–250 mg) and testosterone cypionate have longer durations of action and can be injected every 2–3 weeks, for replacement therapy of hypogonadism.
What is the side effects of testosterone?
Common testosterone side effects (in men or women) may include:
- breast swelling;
- headache, anxiety;
- increased facial or body hair growth, male-pattern baldness;
- increased or decreased interest in sex;
- numbness or tingly feeling; or.
- pain or swelling where the medicine was injected.
Which testosterone is faster?
Another commonly used ester, Testosterone Propionate is faster acting. It typically peaks in the blood within hours and can be fully metabolized in three days.
Is taking testosterone good for you?
Testosterone is responsible for increased muscle mass. Leaner body mass helps control weight and increases energy. For men with low testosterone, studies show that treatment can decrease fat mass and increase muscle size and strength. Some men reported a change in lean body mass but no increase in strength.
Can testosterone damage kidneys?
Animal experiments have repeatedly shown that testosterone damages renal function [9, 10]. For example, in vitro experiments show testosterone induced renal tubular epithelial cell death in a dose-response manner [10].
Does testosterone make you tougher?
Testosterone acts on muscle cells by binding to a specific receptor protein, the androgen receptor. Upon testosterone binding, the androgen receptor signals to the muscle cell to activate the pathways that trigger an increase in muscle mass, called muscle hypertrophy. As a result, the muscle grows and becomes stronger.
