Low testosterone may make sugar more harmful to the liver, mouse study finds

Researchers led by Hiroki Takahashi and Naoki Harada studied how low testosterone and high fructose intake together affect liver health in male mice. The work targets metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, which affects about 40% of adult men worldwide. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, low testosterone and excess fructose from sugary drinks and processed foods are all linked to the condition.
