In Vitro Study

Study Snapshot

5-dihydrotestosterone causes relaxation in rat aorta by acting directly on smooth muscle cells, potentially blocking voltage- and receptor-dependent calcium channels, restricting extracellular calcium availability.

PopulationOlder adults (50-71 years)

Sample size24

MethodsObservational

OutcomesBody Mass Index projections

ResultsSocial networks mitigate obesity in older groups.
