Erectile dysfunction and insulin resistance

Here is more evidence of the strong correlation between erectile dysfunction and insulin. This paper recently published in the Journal of Andrology clearly discerns  the "correlation between erectile function and IR and abdominal obesity." [IR = insulin resistance. Waist circumference is a metric for abdominal obesity.] Moreover, "IR also appears to alter testosterone production." Important: a careful reading of this paper also discloses what functional medicine practitioners and Lapis Light patients know: "a negative correlation [with erectile function] was shown only between BT (biologically active fraction) and abdominal obesity. (BT is also termed free-fraction testosterone, measured in our salivary profiles. Total testosterone is not a reliable indicator.)
