Androgen receptors: upregulate or downregulate?

[Poppy]

Yep… there’s the problem. Ate my vitamins and said my prayers

 

[Dirtnasty]

Now the other issue is Ben if no fatigue is it good for health. The guys at top levels are risking helath for their job but us regular guys what’s the payoff

 

[NeuroRN]

An excellent point. I would say probably not. For us average joes maximizing health an longevity is the key.

 

[Poppy]

Isn’t one for regular folks just a hobby. Get hurt… don’t work… go on workers comp… maybe recover.

 

[NeuroRN]

I prefer the dirt nasty version “ate my prayers and said my vitamins”

 

[Poppy]

Blahahaha

I remember that!

My HRT doc says glutamine helps clear receptors. I’ll ask for some evidence to support

 

[NeuroRN]

Yoooo. I’ve read carnitine does too.

 

[Kad1]

I’m interviewing new doc at some point this week. I’ll ask about it all.

 

[NeuroRN]

The hero we don’t deserve.

 

[Kad1]

More like the monster you don’t want. Lol

 

[NeuroRN]

Hahaha even better

I rhink they downregulate qt high doses/blasting. At trt you are basically natural so why would your receptors downregulate.

I think usong androgen receptor blockers at the end of cycle/pct would be intersting to see if they upregulate, and you could begin pct faster.

 

[NeuroRN]

Bc you are still parking a car in a spot/ putting the key in the door. That’s what supposedly causes the Downregulation? But I guess the supraphysiological numbers would be more the culprit of receptor down regulation.

I know Aldactone is used by people transitioning genders to tank androgens. That would be an interesting study as well.

 

[Poppy]

Is it used for Transitioning both ways… m/f… f/m?

 

[NeuroRN]

I think just male to female.

 

[Poppy]

Interesting

Kroc has been pretty open during his transition and I’ve watched several interviews and his documentary on prime (i think). I can’t remember if he addressed that.

 

[NeuroRN]

It’s one of the “tools” available to women who use gear. If their voice starts changing or other sides… they can take 25mg aldactone for 2-3 days. It can tank their test in a heartbeat though.
