Effect of testosterone on HDL cholesterol

[Guest guest]

There's not a lot of information available in the medical literature on the

effect of testosterone supplementation on HDL cholesterol levels.  I have the

results of two tests which may provide some insight.  The variables that didn't

change during this period were diet and exercise, they remained the same during

the entire period.

After adding HCG to my protocol, my testosterone levels went very high (over

normal) so I adjusted the dose of Androgel from 10 g to 5 g.

1st test:,

testosterone 1,070 (range 280-800) Labcorp

HDL cholesterol  51, LDL 102, Triglycerides 55

2nd test, 2 months later after being on Androgel 5g for a month

testosterone 679 (range 280-800) Labcorp

HDL cholesterol  71, LDL 119, Triglycerides 60

I have a very strong family history of stroke and heart disease, so I consider

the effects of testosterone on my blood lipids.  It's good to know that I can

keep my testosterone levels above average and not suffer adverse cardiovascular

effects of TRT.
