[QUOTE="Excel Male, post: 272892, member: 1"] More evidence higher hormone levels are heart healthy. The [url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29723157]abstract[/url] says: The cardiovascular effects of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone are generally attributed to their modulatory action on lipid and glucose metabolism. However, no [style=font-style: italic;]ex vivo[/style] studies suggest that circulating androgen levels influence the activation and reactivity of blood platelets - one of the main components of the haemostasis system directly involved in atherosclerosis. The levels of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and oestradiol in plasma from men and women aged from 60 to 65 years were measured by LC-MS; the aim was to identify any potential relationships between sex steroid levels and the markers of platelet activation. The results of the [style=font-style: italic;]ex vivo[/style] part of the study indicate that the concentrations of testosterone and its reduced form, dihydrotestosterone are significantly negatively associated with platelet activation and reactivity.
