[QUOTE="tareload, post: 216178"] Best wishes on your journey. Be careful with what I posted above. You are correct that some of it is speculation; however, some of it is not. [LIST] [*]Elevating Hct increases [I]whole blood viscosity[/I] [Fact]. [*]What does that mean to you in the specific context of [I]your[/I] plasma viscosity and inflammation status [I don't know]. [*]Elevating Hct increases your [I]individual [/I]cardiac risk over 1, 5, 10, 20 years [I don't know]. [*]I recommend being cautious as everyone always thinks they have it figured out until they don't [My Opinion]. [/LIST] As you state, the pluses and minuses of primary, secondary, tertiary, .... effects of testosterone therapy f[I]or each individual [/I]are not known a priori. However, I hope one takes away from the information I posted above there is no theoretical or experimental data showing Testosterone's positive effect on NO can counteract any and all negative impacts of elevated Hct on the endothelium. There is a limit and neither you or I know what that cutoff is for each individual. Setting 60 as the ceiling is reckless as a general rule of thumb based on review of all available evidence [My opinion]. If you are comfortable labeling Hct < 60 slightly elevated and if that works for you, have at it. [/QUOTE]
