    tests effect on immune sys

    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?

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

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

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

    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...

    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.
