[QUOTE="antelopers, post: 178183, member: 38214"] Thinking of guys like you [USER=38109]@Cataceous[/USER] ! I've heard it argued recently that HCG is not similar enough to LH to have the same exact effect. The beta subunit is very different than LH. Essentially they're saying just because it triggers the LH receptor, doesn't mean it's actually having the same effects as LH. It also acts on other processes in the body besides LH receptors, and is never found in men naturally at these levels, and therefore may not be a good drug for men after all. On the other hand we know it has some positive effects in men and can at least act as an analog to an extent. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24365330[/URL] I came across this study when looking for info on this. It seems to be implying what some are arguing recently - HCG binds to the same receptor but had vastly different effects than LH. The mechanisms of action, subunits, importance of LH stimulation, etc are all a bit over my head, so if anyone has some data, insights, or opinions, I think this is an interesting discussion to be had.
