Women's testosterone levels are highest when they first fall in love

It is difficult to measure accurately. Dr. Neil Goodman of the University of Miami School of Medicine said that many people judge that their androgen levels are too low after only one test. In fact, androgen levels are constantly changing. The more times you measure, the more accurate it is. Generally, the results are highest in the early morning.

Women who have just fallen in love have high testosterone levels. An Italian study found that women had significantly higher androgen levels in the first few months after falling in love than those who were single or in a long-term relationship, but these differences disappeared after one to two years in the relationship. For men, the results were exactly the opposite.

Making money stimulates the secretion of androgen. A British study found that young futures traders' testosterone levels surge when they earn above-average profits, and the more experienced the trader, the more pronounced this phenomenon is.

Help you lose your beer belly. Professor Adron Dubois of Johns Hopkins University in the United States said that several studies have found that when obese men supplement with androgens, their abdominal fat will decrease.

May cause heart damage in men. Researchers found that older men who took androgen therapy had an increased risk of cardiovascular disease compared with a group of participants taking a placebo. Dr. Goodman said that although the reason is not clear, it is enough to show that the elderly should use androgens with caution.

Excessive secretion can kill brain cells. Yale University researchers have discovered that nerve cells exposed to high levels of androgens can commit suicide. High levels of androgens trigger a cell's "suicide mechanism," which normally helps the body eliminate cancerous or abnormal cells.

Finger length reveals testosterone levels. Scientists have found that the higher the level of androgen in the mother's body when she is pregnant, the smaller the difference in length between the child's index finger and ring finger when he grows up. Another study showed that men whose ring fingers are longer than their index fingers are more likely to develop prostate cancer, which is also related to androgen secretion.

Androgens cause men's testicles to shrink. If men take testosterone supplements, their testicles will shrink and their breasts will swell. If women have too much testosterone, their voice will become deeper, their clitoris will become enlarged, they will lose their hair, and they will grow hair on their body and face.
