In the last installment of this two-part series on gynecomastia, lipomastia and co. we have seen that the number of appellations this common, mostly benign enlargement of the male breast has been given, is easily outnumbered by the potential, mostly pharmacological, but also supplemental and/or dietary factors which have been implicated in its development. In a recent paper, Krysiak and Okopien estimate the incidence of mild proliferation of the glandular breast tissue to 30%-50% of the male population ( Krysiak. 2012 ). Against that background, the universal ignorance towards the profound psychological effects, as well as the tacit acceptance that, breasts or no breasts, "men don't cry" are certainly uncalled-for. If it's benign you got to live with it! The idea, "if it's not cancerous", it won...

DHT Safer Than Previously Thought: High Blood DHT does not Induce Prostate Cancer

Regular visitors of the SuppVersity will know that the stigmatization of DHT goes without reasonable and conclusive scientific research. In their editorial to the Annals of Internal Medicine Swerloff & Wang ( Swerloff. 2010 ) conclude from the results of more recent studies into the various effects of DHT on different tissues: In normal men, serum DHT levels are approximately 10% of the serum testosterone levels, whereas intraprostatic DHT levels are much higher than serum levels, with the intraprostatic DHT–testosterone ratio being 7 to 8 (12). Although the authors did not measure DHT levels in the prostate after DHT administration , Page and coworkers (13) recently reported that prostatic DHT levels did not increase when pharmacologic doses of DHT were administered (Page S. Personal communication.). These findings are consistent with those of Marks and colleagues (12), which demonstrated that administration of testosterone to mildly testosterone-deficient men increased serum t...
