The Bidirectional Association Between MASLD and Male Hypogonadism: An Updated Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Background Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and male hypogonadism are increasingly prevalent, metabolically interrelated conditions. Testosterone (T) deficiency has been implicated in hepatic lipid dysregulation, insulin resistance, and visceral adiposity, whereas MASLD may impair the hypothalamic–pituitary ...
