[QUOTE="xqfq, post: 151733, member: 38167"] I researched this as well. I don't think it's true, but if anyone knows otherwise please chime in. Evidence as to why it's probably not true: 1. Studies on men on TRT (no HCG) do not show a statistically significant increase in LDL-C. There is a slight drop in HDL-C. If HCG was needed to keep LDL-C down, then we'd expect lots of studies on TRT to show an increase in LDL-C. 2. I don't think cholesterol works like that in the body. While using HCG will cause some cholesterol to be used, my guess is that if not using HCG the liver / body just produces less cholesterol. Maybe (and this is a big maybe) there's a short-term increase in LDL-C but I'd expect it to normalize over a few weeks. But this is just my guess, I'm certainly not a doctor / bio expert - just someone who's researching how to best be healthy and on TRT for the rest of my life! [/QUOTE]
