Result of Protodioscin (Tribulus terrestris) treatment in males diagnosed with infertility and impotence.
If you think that DHT only poses the purpose of BPH and MPB after puberty, then think again.
This study shows the results of increasing DHT as oppose to all the studies we've seen about inhibiting DHT. Not surprisingly, the side effects were the opposite of the most prominent side effects associated with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. This is not to say; take medication to increase your existing DHT if you don't naturally have infertility and impotence; but think again about inhibiting the DHT that your body naturally produces.
Quotes:
* Libilov treatment increased the efficiency of testosterone conversion to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
* As DHT played an important role in the improvement of red blood cell formation (erythropoiesis) as well as muscle development, this contributed to the sense of physical well-being and improved oxygen circulation in the body.
* These effects also added to the improvement in sexual functions, including libido, erection, and orgasm.
* The treated men also reported improvement in sexual libido, erection, ejaculation and orgasm.
* Protodioscin acts by stimulating the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which plays a role in the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone.
* Physically, protodioscin treatment results in increased male fertility and sexual functions.
* In respect to improving fertility, protodioscin increases the level of spermatogenesis by stimulating the Sertoli and germinal cells, resulting in the increased production of sperms. In this process, protodioscin improves the conversion of testosterone to DHT, which in turn stimulates the production of Androgen Binding Protein (ABP) in the Sertoli cells. Increased ABP production results in increased formation of DHT-ABP complex, which stimulates spermatogenesis in the germinal cells. Another fraction of the DHT-ABP complex is transported to the epididymis, which increases the efficiency of the maturation of spermatozoa into fertile sperms.
* In respect to increasing sexual functions, protodioscin works by increasing the conversion of testosterone into the potent DHT.
* In addition to the increase in sexual drive or libido, DHT also stimulates erythropoiesis or production of red blood cells, and muscle developments, thus contributing to the improvement of blood circulation as well as the oxygen transport systems. Importantly, regular use of protodioscin has also been shown to increase the duration of penile erection and improve ejaculation in males.
* The increase in the level of DHT, the most potent form of androgens, is also an important mechanism of protodioscin treatment. DHT plays an important role in the improvement of red blood cell formation as well as muscle development. This contributes directly to the sense of physical well-being and improves oxygen circulation in the body.
* These effects also add to the improvement in sexual functions, including sexual libido, erection, ejaculation and orgasm.
