Androgen Deficiency, Metabolic Syndrome and Non-Obese Men

April 12, 2011 by  
Filed under Testosterone - Men

Researchers writing in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism report that “Low SHBG, total testosterone, or AD (Androgen Deficiency) may be early markers of MetS (Metabolic Syndrome) in nonobese men, providing a warning sign in men otherwise considered at lower risk of developing MetS and subsequent diabetes or cardiovascular disease.”

From the study: “Low serum SHBG, low total testosterone, and clinical AD are associated with increased risk of developing MetS over time, particularly in non-overweight middle-aged men.”
