Hi BigKarch,
I don't know you, but after reading your post did some research. I have seen many of the studies your post references. Most of us who research all have seen them however retaining all the info is not that easy.
Anyway the part about
: "Anastrozol raising IGf1 & shows a trend towards increasing IGF2." I found the study you referenced using Medline & it is talking about short term anastrozole treatment. Further your post did not mention this quote from the same study: "We have previously shown that
letrozole (a different type of NSS-AI) modifies blood
IGF-1 levels, and the results of this study of the biological effects of anastrozole on the components of the
IGF system confirm our previous observations." In other words a previous
letrozole study shows the same short term outcome. At this time I have not searched for that study. If I have time to locate it today I will try & post that study on letrozole.
I questioned the
HCG regamin part of your post as well? I am pressed for time so if I question anything in error I am sorry. Your post did not mention starting
HCG while on the cycle? I think your post read that way, not enough time to double check? Anyway I always use it durring cycle to keep the boys size up & think if used post cycle that it can harm the recovery. Post cycle you just want to use your anti-e's. This worked well for me.
I read the part about what steroids aromatize & was left scratching my head. Flouxymesterone was given to children to help promote growth in linear height. I know Oxandrolone is the main steroid used besides
GH in this area of growth promotion study, But we are talking steroids & your post said Flouxy aromatized? I do recall reading some post on the internet saying the same thing about Flouxymesterone or a study but, I did much research & decided to count that read as an error. I may be wrong & if so welcome you to enliten me.
In general I liked the post & it made me do some research. Great deal about your post was very interesting like the Bromo & Cabergoline parts as well as the info on .5 milligram anastrozole being ill suited to raise
testosterone levels but still blocking estrogen levels. I do question that part though about .5 mg anastrozole not being able to raise
Testosterone.(I don't question you BigKarch I question the study) I will look for studies on that as well. Time if only we all had more of it.
Again I in general liked the post it made me think & this is not ment as an attack on you BigKarch. I would like to continue this dialog with anyone who will help shed some lite by posting more studies or quotes from studies.
Best to you BigKarch,
focus
P.S. I forgot to mention I liked the part on
Nolvadex & the effect it may have on progesterone receptors. (I was not aware of this now I am) Loved the quote: Note I didn't say that these other steroids convert to progesterone, but rather that they have progesterone effects. (I posted bad info in a rush in a different thread on this as I said "raised" progesterone.) I printed your whole post so don't take me wrong BicKarch I liked it as a whole
