Health Men, we have a problem: Sex hormones link to heart risk

[tom_mai78101]

Men are more prone to – and likely to die of - heart disease compared with women of a similar age – and sex hormones are to blame, according to a new University of Leicester led study.

The findings of a study by Dr Maciej Tomaszewski, New Blood Lecturer in Cardiovascular Medicine in the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Leicester, suggest that this "male disadvantage" may be related to the sex-specific effects of naturally occurring sex hormones.

The research by Dr Tomaszewski and his colleagues, which has been published on line in the journal Atherosclerosis, involved 933 men aged, on average, 19 years, from the Young Men Cardiovascular Association study. The researchers looked at ways that the sex hormones - estradiol, estrone, testosterone and androstenedione - interacted with three major risk factors of heart disease (cholesterol, blood pressure and weight).

Sexual intercourse was never mentioned in the article, only sex hormones. It is a different meaning.

Nu uh. I have one. Her name is Sexaybabe10204. We meet while we were twaining our orcs outside of Ogwimmar. Then she showed me her myspace. She looks dwastically diffewent in some of them but she says that is because she went through puberty twice. We plan to meet Sunday. I just can't tell my parents and should be expected to be gone for a long time. Maybe I should give her my Chawizard cawd.

Sex hormones play an important role in controlling the development of gender differential phenotypes, they are not specifically linked to having sex.
