test+tbol bloodwork results - damnit

[lifthardheavy]

Here is my bloodwork taken on day 50. The cycle is 225mg/day of transdermal test, plus 20mg/day of oral tbol from day 10 through 47.

total choles = 180
LDL = 134
HDL = 20
TC/HDL ratio = 9
triglycerides = 135
ALT = 33 u/l
AST = 37 u/l

i think the bad lipid profile is because of the tbol.

by the way, can liver function return to normal 3 days after stopping tbol? Because the bloodwork was done a few days after stopping

Depending upon your liver function, it may never have been elevated. Just because something is 'hepatotoxic' does not mean it will necessarily harm your liver or values.

Oral steroids cause lipid issues...period. A clean healthy diet with EFA's like EVOO and F/O and a policosinol, it will bounce back just fine.

on second thought, test is known to reduce HDL levels (which is why men are more prone to heart disease than women). So maybe it was the combination of tbol & test.

in any case, people should realize that even a very conservative cycle like mine has risks. I can't believe there are people out there taking 1g test + dbol + tren and never doing bloodwork. As if they're just popping some aspirin for 10 weeks.
