Here we've put down some surprising
facts about the hormone testosterone-
• Testosterone can help shrink your
belly- Yes, you read that right! Researcher Adrian Dobs from Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine has revealed how there was a decrease in the
abdominal obesity in men, when they were given testosterone.
• Women in love have a higher
testosterone level- Yet another shocker; women who have just started with a
relationship tend to have higher testosterone levels in the initial months than
women who are single or are in a long-term relationship.
• Too much testosterone can shrink
the testicles- Men who take performance boosters and synthetic testosterone
have a risk of suffering from shrunken testicles and growing breasts, not to
mention aggression, mood swings and acne.
• Money-making affects testosterone
levels- According to British researchers, young men experience a spike in their
testosterone levels on days where they make an above-average profit.
• Fat can reduce testosterone levels-
Experts believe that obese men are more likely to suffer from lower
testosterone levels than thin men; and this is because of the presence of
inflammatory factors along with fat cells, which suppress the synthesis of
testosterone.
