Men With Huge Balls at Higher Risk of Heart Disease

Men with large testicles may be at increased risk of heart disease, and a new study from Italy suggests why.

the researchers found a link between risk factors for heart disease — such as obesity, smoking and high blood pressure — and larger testicles.

The researchers also found a link between high levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) — which is secreted by the pituitary gland, and stimulates production of testosterone — and an increased risk of heart disease. This link held even after the researchers took into account risk factors for heart disease.
