The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) is speaking out on the use of testosterone therapy and whether it is unfairly being categorized as contributing to an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD).

On Sept. 22, 2015, AACE, in conjunction with the American College of Endocrinology (ACE), issued a position statement questioning claims that testosterone therapy increases the risk for CVD among users. They cited a lack of compelling evidence connecting testosterone therapy with cardiovascular (CV) events such as heart attack and stroke.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
