Source-ANI: Obese males ages 14 to 20 have up to 50 percent less total testosterone than do normal males of the same age, significantly increasing their potential to be impotent and infertile as adults.

This is according to a study by the University at Buffalo.

“We were surprised to observe a 50 per cent reduction in testosterone in this pediatric study because these obese males were young and were not diabetic,” said Paresh Dandona, MD, PhD, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Medicine, chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism in the UB medical school and first author on the study.

“The implications of our findings are, frankly, horrendous because these boys are potentially impotent and infertile. The message is a grim one with massive epidemiological implications,” said Dandona.
