I'm planning on doing my first cycle soon and as we know, AAS has been associated with left ventricular hypertrophy in the heart.
I'm curious what the effect of one cycle (9 week testosterone only) would have on LVH? Anyone here had a normal echo before their first cycle and a follow up echo afterwards that showed LVH?
edit - I think you guys might find this interesting..
Lots of rat studies are used when showing the adverse effects of anabolics, so check this out:
Resveratrol prevents pathological but not physiological cardiac hypertrophy. - PubMed - NCBI
"The mechanisms responsible for how resveratrol inhibits pathological left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) but not physiological LVH have not been elucidated. Herein, we show that in rat cardiomyocytes, lower concentrations of resveratrol (0.1 and 1 μM) are efficient at selectively inhibiting important regulators involved in pathological LVH (such as nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)) while not affecting pathways involved in physiological LVH (Akt and p70S6 kinase (p70S6K)). "
Resveratrol might be worthy of taking on your next cycle fellas
