Why Does Testosterone Decrease | The Truth About Testosterone

HPTA = Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal Axis

This axis produces circulating steroids necessary for male sexual function, fertility, and development. The prostate and penis are steroid-sensitive organs impacted by the regulation of the HPTA.

This reproductive axis consists of three parts:

1) Hypothalamus – produces GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone)
2) Pituitary Gland – GnRH sent to the pituitary gland stimulates gonadotropic hormones LH and FSH synthesis and release.
3) Testis – Gonads carry LH to the testis, encouraging testosterone production through the testicular Leydig cells.
4) Conversion of cholesterol produces testosterone.
5) FSH is crucial for spermatogenesis

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the activated 2% of testosterone is free or unbound, with the remainder bound to SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin), albumin- and cortisol-binding globulin. Bioavailable testosterone is the testosterone that will not attach to SHBG.

Testosterone and DHT act on organs.

1) Causes the development of secondary sexual characteristics
2) Inhibit secretion of LH and FSH by the pituitary gland, thus stopping further testosterone production = negative feedback loop.
3) There exist androgen receptors in the pituitary and the
hypothalamic neurons that bind to testosterone and signal to stop GnRH release.

Homeostasis is maintained through this loop – once testosterone stops production, this inhibited secretion stops, and GnRH again causes LH and FSH release to produce further testosterone.

As men age, they undergo hormonal level changes:

1) Testosterone decrease
2) LH and FSH increase
Other hormones that decrease: T3, insulin, growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor 1, stimulating thyroid hormone
3) Also, an increase in SHBG
4) Dihydrotestosterone levels are unchanged
5) Estrogen levels unchanged

As men age, the decrease in testosterone paired with the increase in SHBG leads to a decline in free or bioavailable testosterone. These hormonal changes start in the 30s and are established by the 50s.
