Is Testosteron useful for Abnehmen?

Whether testosterone is useful for weight loss is nuanced. Testosterone plays a role in muscle protein synthesis and fat distribution – low levels are associated with increased visceral fat and reduced lean mass. However, evidence that testosterone supplementation directly causes weight loss in eugonadal men is weak. Most studies show body composition improvements (more muscle, less fat) only in men with clinically low testosterone. In healthy individuals, exogenous testosterone does not reliably reduce body weight and carries cardiovascular and prostate risks. The MyBody-X Men's Wellness Check measures testosterone, but a single reading is insufficient due to diurnal variation and need for clinical context. Weight loss is best achieved through caloric deficit, resistance training, and lifestyle changes. Testosterone is not a weight-loss drug; replacement therapy should be reserved for diagnosed deficiency under medical supervision. Evidence grade: human-moderate (for hypogonadal men), mechanistic (for metabolic effects).
