Trying to correlate preliminary animal and cell culture work, where the doses of AI being used would be very high, to humans on TRT is ridiculous. Beyond that, the study has no links to the primary articles being discussed and Brann himself only had a handful of pubs on pubmed concerning E2. At...

Update: Discount labs combined my two orders and eliminated one of the lab draw fees. However, in the confusion, SHBG and E2 sensitive were left out. I placed an order today for both and again the E2 sensitive was left out. So I thus far, I have had to place 4 orders and will have to make 2...

No worries. I am sure they will figure it out. It's a great service, but this has been an annoyance.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the welcome, though I am not really new. Been here a while, I just have not been on here for a while. Since the change in format anyway. The issues I have are between when I order and when I get the script (the pdf printout to hand to the labcorp people). It's as though...

Nice summary Nelson. A more complete panel with Ca2+, Pi, Vitamin D, Calcitonin, and FGF23 would be very cool. Although, the FGF23 would be very expensive.

Double RBC - One thing I never here discussed is that pushing your blood through plastic results in an inflammatory response. I don't want that blood being returned to my body as I don't want the subsequent inflammatory response. The more common objection, is that you can't donate as often....

I found some older studies showing a similar effect on heart rate. I'd be interested to see if this levels for you in the next few days.

Thanks for your input CoastWatcher. Overall things are better. Greater sex drive, greater strength, less anxiety. Just need to clean up the diet and up the physical activity to get my lipids under control.
