Short-term high-dose testosterone therapy in older men improves body composition (increasing lean mass and decreasing fat mass) without altering upper airway dimensions or causing detectable changes in physical, mental, or metabolic function.

High-dose testosterone can increase muscle mass and reduce fat in older men, but this short-term change does not necessarily translate to better physical performance, mood, or metabolic health. You may see changes on the scale or in measurements, but not necessarily in how you feel or function day-to-day.
