    Declining DHT in aging linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD)

    Yet another study demonstrating that the "villain of all males around the world" - the dastardly androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) - actually is, in all likelihood, beneficial for males, at least when it comes to their cardiovascular health. However, since CVD is one of the risk factors for...
