Another Proviron question

[Smokescreen]

Can Proviron mess up your lipid profile? In the same way all gear does.

Here you go bro, the short answer is YES, it will worsen your lipid profile... though it's relative depending on what other A A S you're comparing it to.

(proviron is listed in the study as mesterolone)

Thanks for the input. But geesh! Major headache reading all that! LOL

I"m not even sure I totally understood it.

The one point is that before A A S substitution in this study, all men were clearly hypogonadal:

Androgen substitution led to no significant increase of serum Testosterone in the proviron group

5 alpha-Dihydrotestosterone significantly increased in all treatment groups compared with baseline.

Compared with presubstitution levels, a significant increase of TOTAL CHOLESTEROL was observed in all treatment groups (18.8% +/- 2.5%)

Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) also increased significantly by 46.4% +/- 4.1%

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) showed a significant decrease by -34.9% +/- 2.5%

Serum Triglycerides significantly increased by 46.4% +/- 10.3%

Karma bro! Much thanks!

The "little bit" it does is nothing to worry about unless you wanted to completely come off AAS and return your lipids to normal. Other than that I've ran it for almost one year and my profiles were always good.
