[QUOTE="MikeXL, post: 52131, member: 4958"] What always bothered my about the concept of back filling the pathways is that it Presumes that the pathways need to be back filled. I realize that once on TRT, less of the higher-up-the-chain hormones are produced. However, that could merely be because less are needed given the patient is now on TRT. Pregnenolone, progesterone and DHEA are still needed when you commence TRT. And we see a decrease, but we don't see a complete shutdown like we do with LH and FSH. Perhaps the body merely down regulates them just enough to give the patient only what is needed, which would be less now that none is needed for producing T. And that leads me to the next thing. If LH really was needed for something other than testosterone, why would the body produce zero just because of TRT ? [/QUOTE]
