Effects of Being Overweight Chicago IL

Testosterone influences the sex drive and the growth of spermatogenic tissue in the testes. It does not regulate the quality of sperm. Spermatogenic tissue performs the very production of sperm. If the level of one’s testosterone decreases, which is bound to happen to every “couch potato” person who tends to avoid effort, his libido may drop.
