tests effect on immune sys

[powerliftmike]

I found this on the web:

Nandrolone does not effect the immune system, unlike testosterone

The article didn't say any more. I was curious as to what effects test has on the immune system?

[testosterona]

all that i know is that i've had a cold for 7days. i'm in the middle of test e only.

I hope it does not lower it.

[inspector_injector]

what?? You would think it increases it? No? I can swear I've read that three to four times that test an gh increases immunity?

[shortie]

Testosterone lowers the responsiveness of white blood cells, which is why women have better immune systems than men.

[testosterona]

ive been sick as a dog for 7days. it's taking forever to recover from this stupid cold!

Had the same thoughts as you inspector, but the other day when someone posted this question I did some research and found this article.

Wow that seiously f*cking sucks!!! I thought test would increase the IS. Oh well, you give some to gain some.

I am pretty sure cortisol suppresses immune function too. That is kinda weird.

Nope! Test is still king!!!!!!!!!!!!! Faster acting T cells be damned!!!!!

Actually cortisol helps the immune system-shitty hormones(estrogen, cortisol) help the immune system, whereas the king supresses it-it just ain't right.

It's True. It's all coming back to me know. Read the first paragraph about test enanthate on this link. Estrogen has positive effects as well. That's why it's not always recommended to run nolva throught a test cycle. Regardless, here's the link...

so does test E lower or raise the immunity?

conflicting arguments here

[inspector_injector]

It lowers it, but if you don't take an anti-e and let some estro build up you're way better off. Actually that's why most pros are against anti-e's until PCT!!!

Lav, read the article I posted above. It is a good read and answers it pretty well IMO.
