[QUOTE="madman, post: 201523, member: 13851"] If anything I would be far more concerned with diet/body composition let alone having low testosterone! Having healthy testosterone levels and following a proper diet/training protocol will have a big impact on body composition (muscle gain/fat loss) which will improve overall blood markers. We are on trt using therapeutic doses in order to achieve a healthy FT level. Abuse of testosterone/AAS can have a negative impact on lipids and even then it is usually the 17-alpha alkylated orals such as methyltestosterone, oxymetholone, fluoxymesterone, methandienone, oxandrolone, and stanozolol which are notorious for driving down HDL and increasing LDL let alone stressing the liver. [I][B]*Effects of testosterone therapy (TTh) on lipid parameters are inconsistent and may depend on treatment duration, route of administration, and adherence. [U]While in short-term studies, testosterone usually lowers HDL, long-term studies seem to increase HDL. Total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides are either reduced by TTh, or effects are neutral[/U]. *Testosterone modulates the function of different tissues (muscle, adipose, and bone) and cell types (epithelial, endothelial, and hematopoietic) and [U]regulates the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins[/U]. [/B][/I] [B][I]Testosterone is closely related to blood lipid metabolism. [U]Long-term testosterone therapy improves the lipid profile by reducing total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and triglyceride (TG) levels, and increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels compared with baseline levels.[/U][/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
