I am trying to find out about how testosterone is made from cholesterol and how the levels of LDL and HDL either high or low effect testosterone levels.
is it simply a case of just having higher total cholesterol to increase testosterone higher, with the levels of the 2 lipoproteins LDL and HDL whatever they may be not important for higher T levels?
Or is the total cholesterol levels less important, and is it a case of higher LDL or higher HDL levels that increase T levels?
Is testosterone increased by high LDL or High HDL levels?
Is low LDL good or bad for testosterone levels?
I have read probiotics/or just certain strains of probiotics can lower total cholesterol/ and or LDL levels
Is this true, is it a fact has it ever been proven and if so how much does the level or levels decrease from probiotics?
I wish to use probiotics for ibs but I do not really want them to lower cholesterol if it will effect my Testosterone levels.
Thanks anyone for decent helpful educated replies to my questions appreciated.
