Testosterone May Help Men Regulate Blood Sugar Levels, Study Suggests.

reported that in a study published April 29 in Cell Metabolism, scientists from Tulane University “suggest that testosterone helps men regulate their blood sugar levels by activating insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.” The study’s findings may “help identify new treatments for type 2 diabetes in men with low testosterone caused by old age or prostate cancer treatment.” The study’s senior author is Endocrine Society member Franck Mauvais-Jarvis, MD, PhD, who heads “the diabetes research program at Tulane’s Health Sciences Center.” http://www.nola.com/health/index.ssf/2016/04/testosterone_diabetes_risk_men.html#incart_river_home
