[QUOTE="scubajoe, post: 151734, member: 38967"] Just stumble on this looks like testosterone only lower HDL I would like to find some studies on HCG effect on LDL [B][USER=18511]fifty[/USER] Well-Known Member [/B]Yeah right... What is the point to that comment? useless [B][USER=38167]xqfq[/USER] [/B]thank you for your input if i find something i will let you know [B]INTERVENTIONS:[/B] Testosterone cypionate injections were given in gradually increasing doses of 150 mg/week for 2 weeks, 300 mg/week for 2 weeks, and 600 mg/week for 2 weeks. Eight subjects received testosterone injections during the first injection phase and placebo during the second injection phase, and the remaining eight subjects received placebo first and testosterone second. [B]RESULTS:[/B] We found a 21% depression of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels following the first 300-mg testosterone dose. This depression remained unchanged after the two 600-mg doses. In contrast, we did not find any changes in low-density lipoprotein or total cholesterol levels at any of the time points studied. Subjects' total cholesterol/HDL-C ratios were significantly elevated during testosterone administration and even 4 weeks following the last injection. [B]CONCLUSION:[/B] Our findings suggest that testosterone cypionate adversely affects cholesterol fractions, that this effect reaches its full magnitude even at very modestly supraphysiologic doses, and that this effect persists for several weeks after discontinuation of the drug.
