During muscle building, testosterone stimulates protein synthesis (anabolic effect) and inhibits protein degradation (anti-catabolic effect) and this in turn results in muscle hypertrophy.

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

Take a Allergy Veg + Non Veg Food Maxi Panel Test or Take a Anti-Dsg-I (Pemphigus Foliaceus) Test
