Is lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol associated with lower androgen and erectile dysfunction in men?

Therapeutic possibilities now exist to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to very low levels.

We aimed to explore the association of LDL-C with androgen and erectile dysfunction (ED) in a general population of men.
