[QUOTE="xqfq, post: 167743, member: 38167"] As you hint at (but expanding in case others are wondering), raising HDL may not help, as all studies and methods of raising HDL have shown no benefit. There may not even be a relationship between HDL-C and outcomes at all once LDL-P / ApoB is adjusted for. In the old data sets, ApoB wasn’t measured so HDL-C could sort of act as a proxy for it. I’m not sure of that though. Lipidologist Tom Dayspring on HDL and alcohol: [URL='http://plantpositive.com/17-thomas-dayspring-lipidologi/'][SIZE=16px]http://plantpositive.com/17-thomas-dayspring-lipidologi/[/SIZE][/URL] The decrease in HDL-C brought on by TRT may or may not confer increased risk. I personally lean toward it increasing risk, as there are studies on steroid using men showing decreased HDL function (cholesterol efflux): [MEDIA=reddit]PEDsR/comments/b894kc[/MEDIA] All that said, I too like having HDL-C higher to check that “risk marker” box, particularly when physicians look at my blood work [/QUOTE]
