“Men are from Mars and women are from Venus”
—John Gray PhD
Women and men are very different. The concept seems fairly easy to grasp. Most get it. It seems obvious. Even the science supports it. However, this point seems to escape most in Medicine today.
The perfect example of this biochemical difference is found in Testosterone. The effects and risks of Testosterone in women stand in stark contrast to men. Low Testosterone is associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk in men. Yet, elevated Testosterone is associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk in women. A recent publication highlights the different Testosterone picture in women with obesity and Metabolic Syndrome (elevated Testosterone) and men with obesity and Metabolic Syndrome (low Testosterone).
