Abnormal hormone levels could play a significant role in how multiple sclerosis develops, research suggests. Researchers from University La Sapienza in Italy looked at hormone levels in 25 men and 35 women with MS, and in 36 people without the disease. Women with low testosterone levels were found to have more brain tissue damage. There was no difference in testosterone levels between men with or without MS. The Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry published the study.
