    Gynecomastia Associated With Low Androgens, High Cortisol / Estrogen / Prolactin / LH / FSH

    I just wanted to post this study here since there is still controversy in endocrinology circles about exactly what imbalance causes gynecomastia. Ray has written on the role of cortisol and prolactin in causing gyno, which is in addition to the generally accepted view of estrogen being the...
