[QUOTE="HarryCat, post: 11039, member: 856"] I came across this study: [URL="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2164/jandrol.05140/full"][B]Feedback Inhibition of Gonadotropins by Testosterone in Men With Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism: Comparison to the Intact Pituitary-Testicular Axis in Primary Hypogonadism[/B][/URL] They gave the guys in the study 250mg of test. enanthanate every 2-4 weeks. Now, I've always read that TRT will cause the HPTA to shutdown, which to my mind meant that LH and FSH would be driven to such low levels that they would not longer stimulate receptors in the body. But look at Figure 1 from the above study. It says that the median FSH level in the cohort with primary hypogonadism dropped from about 44 to about 26, and the median LH level dropped from 22 to 15. These numbers are still pretty high. Would HCG be of any benefit to these guys? [/QUOTE]
