Excessive Testosterone Consequences

Researchers from the Yale University found that abnormal levels of the mail sex hormone testosterone in the blood cause damage to the brain cells. For this to happen, however, your blood levels of testosterone must be 10 times the normal levels or higher. This can be only achieved if you are on steroids.

Quite the opposite, it turned out that estrogen – the female sex hormone protects the brain cells.

So, I suppose athletes who are into natural bodybuilding needn’t worry about their brains self-destructing. The rest – keep this study in mind.
