Test Prop lowers IGF-1?

[orion565]

In all my readings I have read that testosterone raises IGF-1, but after reading this study, it seems that test prop alone lowers IGF-1, anybody have anymore insite into this?

You can find the study here,

Lol, actually I have heard numerous studies whereby IGF is increased with small doses, (under 125 mg i beleive), and then begins to decrease after the dose is increased...

The effect I beleive is small, even large doses doenst seem to reduce it that much... I wouldnt worry, the anabolic effect of testosterone would give much more gains than the loss in IGF would take away...
