I think it was an oversimplification to the point of distortion. Fat cells
can affect the small amount of female hormones in men and raise E3 levels in
susceptible men. The testosterone remains the same.

understand from your mail, my friend's suggestion might have been a
simplified version of the truth, but not really incorrect. Or is the
relation between fat c.q. weight and testestorone in males as complex as the
relation between female(s,) hormones and fat?
