\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n

The\nquestion of whether you can build muscle if you have low testosterone is\nintriguing to me, so I searched over the internet to find out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the Fact?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact is that testosterone plays a vital role in building muscle mass and low testosterone causes a loss in the muscle mass. Testosterone builds the person\u2019s muscle mass, and on the contrary, low testosterone level turn the muscles to fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testosterone is a sex hormone that makes it possible for man\u2019s muscles to grow and have a muscular physique. With low testosterone level, or in the absence of it, estrogen hormone takes over. The estrogen deposits the fat to your body parts, either in your chest or just around your belly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building muscles are one of the primary functions of testosterone. Men that have a low level of testosterone find it challenging to increase their strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Testosterone Causes Muscle Loss?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The loss of muscle is known as muscle wasting. It\u2019s a sign of having a low testosterone level. Before noticing a waste in the muscle, you may feel weak and lack energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The muscle cells contain receptors for testosterone, it is called androgen receptors. Muscle fibers are maintained when the testosterone binds to the receptors. If there is no testosterone or if there is a low level of testosterone, the maintenance stops and the muscles are degraded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the review published in the Journal Current Diabetes about the low testosterone in 2012, it was explicitly stated that having low testosterone level increases the fats deposits, especially in the belly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fat cells in the belly cause the production of an enzyme known as aromatase<\/em>. The aromatase enzyme transforms the testosterone to estrogen. The estrogen is what causes more of the fat to be deposited in your other body parts like chest, thighs, and hips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increasing the body fat eats away the testosterone hormone, which according to Tamler, M.D, associate professor at Icahn School of Medicine, can become a vicious cycle. The low testosterone causes depression, fatigue, and lethargy that can keep you from doing exercises to lose fat and also build muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
