Why the study?
Are plasma levels of androgens, insulin, coagulation, and fibrinolytic factors altered in men with coronary arteriosclerosis compared to healthy controls?
Are plasma levels of androgens, insulin, coagulation, and fibrinolytic factors altered in men with coronary arteriosclerosis compared to healthy controls?
Low androgen and high insulin concentrations, along with elevated coagulation and fibrinolytic factors, are associated with coronary arteriosclerosis and prior myocardial infarction in men.

Lower androgens with higher insulin/coagulation markers associate with coronary arteriosclerosis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before clinical inference.
Adamkiewicz et al. (1998) studied this question.
