Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Decreased testosterone is seen in other critical illnesses. Note that when cortisol, the " stress " hormone, increases testosterone tends to decrease. In stress situations, where the body is under attack testosterone may decrease. There are other theories too. Mooney www.medibolics.com Message: 2 Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 06:58:00 -0400 Subject: Low testosterone, causes? I'm not sure anyone knows what the cause is. Decreased testosterone levels were seen long before protease inhibitors entered the picture, though.
