inferred from weight-loss magnitude and class data Testosterone effect in men / weight loss of 10%+ raises free testosterone by roughly 2 to 3 nmol/L in prior obesity trials SHBG change / adiposity reduction consistently raises SHBG, increasing bioavailable androgens Women / fat-mass loss of this magnitude can restore LH pulsatility and ovulatory cycles in hypothalamic amenorrhea PCOS relevance / GLP-1-class agents reduce androgen excess and improve menstrual regularity Cardiovascular link / erectile dysfunction shares endothelial risk factors
The common peptide mistakes guide covers this and other errors that undermine research outcomes
