YouTube video by Dr. Charles Mok summarizing research on testosterone in women. The speaker states that studies suggest testosterone is cardioprotective and that women with the lowest testosterone levels—particularly diabetics and overweight women—had the most cardiovascular events. He describes a six-month randomized comparison in perimenopausal women (women in their 50s) given 100 mg testosterone versus placebo: placebo users gained weight over six months while the testosterone group lost a small amount.
