Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease
Research from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) implies that testosterone treatment in men with low testosterone levels (“Low-T”) restores standard lipid profiles and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
These findings currently appear in the International Journal of Clinical Practice.
The dreadful Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus.
There is a proven link between MetS and testosterone deficiency.
Hypogonadal (Low-T) men are much more likely to suffer from metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by dyslipidemia (an abnormal amount of lipids, e.g., cholesterol or fat in the blood), insulin resistance, diabetes, and hypertension.
Not surprisingly, obese and overweight men quite often suffer from testosterone deficiency.
Obesity is a downward spiral because belly fat often tends to cause estrogen to increase out of control in some men.
