Reading Time: 2 minutesBy Serena Gordon HealthDay Reporter WEDNESDAY, Jan. 1, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- When men are young, testosterone tends to get a bad rap, often blamed for aggressive and overly competitive behavior. But as men get older, the bad rap continues, though for a different reason. In older men, it's low testosterone that has captured attention. Testosterone, the male hormone, plays a vital role in many body functions, and low testosterone levels can leave men tired, uninterested in sex, infertile and with thinning bones, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. It's also a fairly common problem in older men. … Read more »

Higher testosterone levels may give men a weakened immune response to infectious illnesses like the flu.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz FORTUNE -- With the debt default threat seemingly receding, it's time to take stock of how this near-disaster came to pass. There's been no shortage of culprits named. Here's a new one: testosterone. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) took the stage at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit to make the case that increasing the ranks of women in Congressional leadership would decrease the toxic acrimony that almost pitched us over the brink.

Reading Time: 2 minutesResearch from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) suggests that testosterone treatment in hypogonadal (testosterone deficient) men restores normal lipid profiles and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

There is a strong association between MetS and testosterone deficiency.
