[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 125039, member: 3"] The HDL decrease happens in all TRT options but is dose-dependent. No HDL drop happens in doses equivalent to 100 - 150 mg per week of injectable testosterone. Low HDL in combination with decreased [URL='https://www.discountedlabs.com/lipoprotein-a']Lipoprotein A[/URL] (along with increased hematocrit) can substantially increase cardiovascular risks in high dose T or anabolic steroid users.
