Testosterone stimulation comparison
hCG is well established for testosterone stimulation. A study in men with average total testosterone of 361.8 ng/dL found that six months of 2000 IU weekly hCG raised mean testosterone to 519.8 ng/dL. The response is reliable and well characterized. Kisspeptin

- hCG is well established for testosterone stimulation. A study in men with average total testosterone of 361.8 ng/dL found that six months of 2000 IU weekly hCG raised mean testosterone to 519.8 ng/dL. The response is reliable and well characterized.
- Kisspeptin-10 can stimulate testosterone production within 30 to 40 minutes of administration. However, its short half-life means the effect is transient without repeated dosing. Continuous infusion of kisspeptin-10 at 4 mcg/kg/hour raised testosterone from 16.6 to 24.0 nmol/L (approximately 479 to 692 ng/dL) in healthy men over a 22.5-hour period. The magnitude is comparable to hCG, but the kinetics are completely different.
