Effect of testosterone therapy on bone formation in an osteoporotic hypogonadal male

Summary Osteoporosis has been reported to complicate androgen deficiency in males. Accordingly, we have evaluated an osteoporotic hypogonadal male with bone histomorphometry before and after 6 months of testosterone replacement . Androgen therapy resulted in increases in relative osteoid volum, total osteoid surface, linear extent of bone formation, and bone mineralization. The dramatic histological response to hormonal replacement confirms the importance of androgens in bone modeling and remodeling.

ya when it comes to AAS, you really have to find a doc that knows his stuff

a buddy (kinda) of mine went to doc the other day to talk to him about what PCT regimine he should run. by the way this guy has been on juice for 4 years straight, and the doc told him HCG ...only

the dudes an idiot too, cuz who juices for 4 years straight and doesnt know how to run a proper PCT

just cause they have a phd in front of their name dosent mean shit. most docs are idiots seems to me. when i first got on trt my doc didnt know shit i basically tought him evrything he knows. so when i want to change things i go in and he says what do or should we do. but i dont take advantage. lol bye the way i learned everything i know from here readind lots of hours

I think he meant steroids as in corticosteroids. If he didnt then i would find a new doctor, pronto.

**oneshot** · 04-27-2009, 02:31 AM

^^^ yup yup. AAS will do the opposite. if test caused osteoporosis, then men would probably get it much more often than women which is not the case

welll , my mom makes deca durabolin every like 6 months as instucted by her doctor so she wouldnt lose the calcium in her bones ( she's over 50 ) , so you see test is good for the bones and it protects bones from osteoporosis
