Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I never heard this about Chol. and TRT yet Dr.'s will tell men going on TRT is bad for there heart and can cause cancer. Today we know this is not ture and you need Chol. to make Hormones. In the files section here there is a tree that shows how this work. It's called " Dr. 's Steroid Pathway.pdf " Co-Moderator Phil > From: mysticgrl77 <mystic_pizza7@...> > Subject: Ques....TRT & cholesteral > > Date: Wednesday, September 15, 2010, 9:14 AM > My husband was told that taking TRT > that it may increase cholesteral levels...not sure why that > would happen,,,,is this true?

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 For hypogonadal men, TRT will lower cholesterol. In addition, at phyiological doses, TRT can increase HDL If testosterone levels rise above normal levels, HDL will start to decrease.
