  • Why your testosterone gets suppressed

    Ok bouncer and Rado I found it.

    The human body always prefers to remain in a very balanced hormonal state, a tendency known as homeostasis. When the administration of androgens from an outside source cause a surplus of hormone, it will cause the body to stop manufacturing its own testerone. Specifically, this happens via a feedback mechanishm where the hypothalamus detects a high level of sex steroids (including androgens, progestins, and estrogens) and shuts off the release of GnRH (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormore, formerly referred to as luteinizing hormone releasing hormone). This , in turn, causes the pituitary to stop releasing luteinizing hormone and FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), the two hormones (primarily LH) that stimulate the Leydig's cells in the testes to release testosterone (negative feedback inhibition has been demonstrated at the pituitary level as well). Without stimulation by LH and FSH, the testes will be in a state of production limbo, and may shrink from inactivity. In extreme cases the steroid user can notice testicles that are unusually and frightingly small. However, this effect is temporary, and once the drugs are removed (the hormone levels rebalanced) the testicles should return to their original size. Many regular steroid users find this side effect quite troubling, and use HCG during a steroid cycle in order to try to maintain testicular activity (and size) during treatment. The more estrogenic androgens (testosterone, Anadrol, and Dianobol) are most dramatic in this regard, and are not the best choices for individuals who seriously want to avoid testicle shrinkage. Non-aromatizing anabolics would be a better option, however, be warned that all steroids will suppress the production of testosterone if taken at an anabolicly effective dosage (yes, even Anavar and Primobolan)

          Do you even understand half that shit? I dont,lol. I just remembered the reasons why all thoes chain of events happen and the easyest of all to remember the last line.
          "all steroids will supress the production of testosterone if takin at a anabolicly effective dose"
          but all that shit in the middle is a mystery to me. :retard:

            i think you just have (ADD) you cant concentrate on what you are reading. its not really hard to understand if you just concentrate on what you are reading. all it is saying is that your body like to be in a state of normalcy and when you introduce an outside hormone no matter if it is test, estrogen etc.. your body will react by shutting its own hormones down.

              LOL, I do have that reading disorder. I also do understand what you just typed but its all the of the other words that I dont understand on their own.
              Like FSH I understand that is part of the chain that shuts you down but i have no clue what it is. yes i could research it but as of right now all thoes things are a mystery to me.

                  That's right on however depression, anxiety and stress can all lower testosterone levels by the exact same mechanism as exo test injections.
