Androgens, Insulin Resistance and Vascular Disease in Men

[stat1951]

Newer study out (9/8/2005):

Androgens, Insulin Resistance and Vascular Disease in Men - Medscape, 9/8/05

"Studies in healthy men have shown an inverse correlation between testosterone and insulin levels ... physiological testosterone replacement improves insulin sensitivity ... Insulin resistance also plays a role in the development of atherosclerosis and hypertension ... hypotestosteronaemia is associated with insulin resistance in men. Testosterone treatment inhibits the hyperinsulinaemia and thus may delay the onset of diabetes mellitus in men or even improve glycaemic control"


Sorry that's all I have at this point, just the brief abstract...

Androgel might eventually be indicated for diabetic men. Trials are currently in progress.

I have felt a noticeable difference from using TRT and insulin response.
