Originally posted by Governor hes full of shit. wrong. period. So whats he saying, when a newbie gains 20 pounds off test enth at 400 it was all psycosomatic???? riiiight.
the body produces 5-10 mgs of test a week. No where close to 250 like he says.
Originally posted by Lock_N_Load Can anyone find a read on the amount of test the average body produces in a day or week?
Here is a short summary of how it works:
Question 1: How is Testosterone produced in the body naturally?
Answer 1: First, let me say that both males and females produce
testosterone (T) and Estrogen (E) naturally. However the amount of T and E produced varies between the two sexes. In this post I'll emphasize on the production of T in males [sorry ladies ] which goes like this:
When T level in the body falls bellow a certain set-point (set-point varies between individuals) the hypothalamus is stimulated to produce Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone GnRH). GnRH in turn signal the pituitary to produce Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulated Hormone (FSH) which is then released into the blood stream. Those two hormones travel in the blood until they get attached to specialized cells in the testes; LH enters the Leydig cells where it stimulate the production of T, while FSH enters the Sertoli cells and promotes the production of Sperm.
Now for sperm cells to mature they need to "swim" in T. So guess who gets the first shot at T? The remaining T is then released into the blood stream where 97 to 99 percent of them gets bound to serum protein and become inactive and then destroyed by the liver. The remaining 1 to 3 percent are free to enter sex organs and muscle cells and might, under certain circumstances, cause muscle growth.
At this point the level of T is high in the blood. This high concentration of T signals the formation of Inhibin which then signal the hypothalamus to stop the production of GnRH and the beginning of the transformation of some T to Estrogen (the female sex hormone). When the level of T become low again, the whole process is repeated.
Things to keep in mind:
- The average male 21-45 produces 4-12 mg/day of T naturally - if your body produce between 9 & 12 mg/day you're a lucky dog!!
- Amount of LH is almost exactly equal to amount of FSH.
- Only a very small amount of T produced can cause muscle growth.
- Your body is programmed to think That sperm formation is more important than muscle growth.
- The process mentioned above is repeated every 1-3 hours.
