Do all AAS raise testosterone levels in the blood in some type of fashion?

What does a Deca only cycle do to blood levels? I'm not a newb, so I know not to do a Deca only cycle. But I am curious how just running Deca would affect blood levels, and if anyone has any stats from bloodwork from a Deca only cycle?

I have been a daily reader of this site for over a year, and still don't know exactly how steroids work. I know that Testosterone puts your body in an anabolic state and increases protein synthesis. I also know that some compounds have a higher affinity for the androgen receptor, but I don't really understand what that means.

Can someone who is not a dumbass or a troll explain some of these things to me in layman's terms? And as a I mentioned before, I am interested in seeing people's bloodwork, before, during, and after a cycle and what compounds they ran. I think this would help me better understand different compounds.

BTW Newbs please don't reply and tell me to read the steroid profiles, I have a thousand times before.
