Question
what happens to an athletes natural testosterone production when they take it in steroid form? it increases it remains constant it decreases
When an athlete takes testosterone in steroid form, the body's feedback mechanism (negative feedback) senses the increased levels of testosterone. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland then reduce the signals (such as luteinizing hormone - LH) that stimulate the testes to produce natural testosterone. As a result, the natural production of testosterone by the athlete's body decreases.
