In men with confirmed testosterone deficiency, testosterone replacement can modestly increase metabolic rate over 6 to 12 months, largely by adding lean muscle (which raises basal metabolic rate) and reducing visceral fat. The biggest payoff shows up when strength training, protein intake, and sleep are dialed in, and men with normal levels usually see little ...

In men with obesity (BMI over 30) and low testosterone, combining semaglutide with testosterone therapy can promote fat loss while helping preserve lean muscle by reducing adipose-driven aromatase conversion of testosterone to estradiol and supporting anabolic metabolism.
