This totally supports my thinking about this recently. I wish more doctors were aware of this research and the studies because things could have been very different for me. My testosterone was low ten years ago. I knew this and didn't do anything about it. Then I became prediabetic and then diabetic, which led to a heart attack and four stents. I really do believe that had the testosterone issue been treated first, I would have never developed diabetes in the first place, and the heart attack would never have happened. The testosterone was actually base issue all along, but of course it was only my symptoms that were treated as they came up (and not treated very well).

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.
