A report on adverse effects of testosterone supplementation in a rat model. There;s no mention of the dose given to the rats. I've heard that in anabolic doses, steroids can increase blood pressure. No journal article to link to, just this news report:
"Recent findings will be presented today at the American Physiological Society's (APS) Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolic Diseases: Sex-Specific Implications for Physiology conference in Knoxville, Tenn. Researchers from the University of Mississippi Medical Center found that long-term testosterone therapy may not be beneficial for some populations with low T. In an animal model of hypogonadism, obese rats showed an increase in blood pressure with testosterone supplementation. This blood pressure spike occurred even while other factors, including cholesterol and inflammation, improved."
