[QUOTE="madman, post: 90561, member: 13851"] Regarding testosterone and elevated hematocrit supra-physiological spikes of testosterone (usually caused by injectable as oppose to oral/patch/transdermal/pellet especially with once weekly or god forbid once every 2-3 weeks), larger doses of testosterone injected less frequently will spike levels in to the supra-physiological range and those peaks play a role in raising hematocrit but are not the sole reason for elevated hematocrit as there are other factors especially dosage and age (older men are more sensitive to elevations in hematocrit) and if you search the literature the exact mechanisms for elevated hematocrit have not been determined. Vince it is great daily t injections with lower doses will eliminate the peaks/valleys and result in extremely stable testosterone levels possibly with less conversion to e2/dht and improving some peoples hematocrit but it is not guaranteed to work for everyone as many on transdermal which does not result in the same supra-physiological peaks as injectable still suffer from elevated hematocrit.
