Low dose Test?
-
Are we not doing test (in small, peaty doses with vit e, to reduce potential for aromatization) because we think it will compromise endogenous production after cessation of the exogenous? We seem all quite confident that the thyroid gland resumes endogenous production post cessation of exogenous supplementation - is there any reason to think the gonads would be different?

Administration of exogenous testosterone may lead to inhibition of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular (HPG) axis, which results from a feedback mechanism. When testosterone levels in the blood increase, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland reduce the production of hormones that regulate testicular function (LH and FSH), which can lead to a reduction in the natural production of testosterone by the testicles.
In the case of the thyroid gland, thyroid hormone supplementation (e.g. levothyroxine) also affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis, but the mechanisms are slightly different. After discontinuation of exogenous thyroid hormone supplementation, normal thyroid function usually returns, unless there is damage to the gland or other permanent pathological changes.

I don't use AI. I just try to inform about such things transparently.
