Men who have low levels of testosterone are at an increased risk of heart disease and early death, particularly from cardiovascular diseases, a study revealed.
Testosterone is a male sex hormone essential for sexual development and functions in men. The normal testosterone levels range from 300 and 1,000 ng/dL. When testosterone levels are low, the condition is called low T or testosterone deficiency syndrome which affects around 2.1% of males. Men with low testosterone may develop symptoms such as reduced muscle mass, low sex drive, fatigue, irritability, and erectile dysfunction.
