A mini-review examines testosterone's impact on metabolism and body composition in at-risk populations, suggesting vital healthcare insights.
The objective of this work is to explore the role of testosterone in weight control by examining its impact on metabolism, muscle mass, and fat distribution. The author aims to highlight the physiological mechanisms by which testosterone influences body composition, educating healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, on the importance of assessing and managing testosterone levels in their patients. The intention of the review is to emphasize the significance of understanding testosterone’s role in addressing hormonal imbalances and improving weight management, particularly in populations at risk for low testosterone levels, such as aging men and individuals with obesity or metabolic disorders.
