good cholesterol question

[supbro!]

Doc, i'm 39 yrs old and have been on trt of 200 mg cyp every week w/ hcg for 3 yrs. Over the last 6 weeks or so I have taken percocet every day for an injury and I also used clenbuterol on a two week on and two week off cycle . I got my bloodwork done 2 weeks ago and my test levets were just as expected but my good cholesterol has now dropped from 36 to 8 over the last 6 months. Did the clenbuterol or does the percocet have anything to do with this? Many thanks.

AAS have raise total cholesterol and decrease HDL (the good cholesterol).

Although this does not apply to you because you are on a cycle, percocet decreases natural LH prduction and LH stimulates the testes to make natural testosterone. Therefore if one is not on testosterone injections/topical, their testosterone level will decrease cholesterol and HDL will rise.

There is a medication, Crestor, that can raise HDL levels while lowering total cholesterol.

Your levels are difficult to explain.
