In epidemiological studies, serum total and free testosterone concentrations have been inversely correlated with intra-abdominal fat mass, risk of coronary artery disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Testosterone administration to middle-aged men is associated with decreased visceral fat and glucose concentrations and increased insulin sensitivity. Testosterone infusion increases coronary blood flow. Similarly, testosterone replacement retards…
Testosterone treatment was followed by a decrease of visceral fat mass. Insulin resistance decreased. Diastolic blood pressure and serum cholesterol decreased with testosterone treatment. Insulin sensitivity improved. Testosterone treatment … gives beneficial effects on well‐being and the cardiovascular and diabetes risk profile, results similar to those observed after hormonal replacement therapy in postmenopausal women.

Normalization of Testosterone levels after Testosterone Therapy is associated with a significant decrease in the incidence of Atrial Fibrillation. READ FULL ARTICLE
Men with Testosterone deficiency tend to have a portfolio of cardiac risk factors that include Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome. Testosterone deficiency increases the risk of Cardiovascular disease and the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Many of the key symptoms of low Testosterone are sexual in nature, including erectile dysfunction,…
There is evidence to suggest that low concentrations of Testosterone are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in men. When serum Free Testosterone levels are low the risk of carotid artery sclerosis (hardening of the artery) the risk is high. READ FULL ARTICLE
Previously identified risk factor for coronary artery and heart disease were age, low high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol), and free testosterone. However, free testosterone may be the strongest predictor of coronary artery disease than other factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and body mass index (obesity). An overwhelming volume of data shows that higher…
A previous major summary study evaluating the effect of Testosterone Therapy on Cardiovascular Events, showed Testosterone Therapy safety, because it was not associated with an increased risk of Cardiovascular Disease. Similar results were also reported in another review that analyzed 51 placebo-controlled studies with follow-up ranging from 3 months up to 3 years. While higher…
Higher Testosterone levels are associated with better cognitive performance in the oldest age category. READ FULL ARTICLE
