Hey Guys,
Just got my bloodwork back and wanted to share my results. Looks like I recovered--pre-cycle total testosterone was 528; post PCT is 594. Had a question about my IGF-1 reading (appears to be LOW), and a few others. I know I need to lower my cholesterol as well--going to eat a lot cleaner from now on. Below are portions of my results and corresponding ranges (ignore the "01" following the range value--it's the lab ref #). I'm happy to provide the other data, I just wanted to get input on what's below for now. I am 37 years old, and male FYI. Comments/suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!!
Cholesterol, Total 210 HIGH 100-199 mg/dL 01
Triglycerides 54 0-149 mg/dL 01
HDL Cholesterol 46 >39 mg/dL 01
According to ATP-III Guidelines, HDL-C >59 mg/dL is considered a
negative risk factor for CHD.

LDL Cholesterol Calc 153 HIGH 0-99 mg/dL 01

According to the American Urological Association, Serum PSA should
decrease and remain at undetectable levels after radical
prostatectomy. The AUA defines biochemical recurrence as an initial
PSA value 0.2 ng/mL or greater followed by a subsequent confirmatory
PSA value 0.2 ng/mL or greater.
Values obtained with different assay methods or kits cannot be used
interchangeably. Results cannot be interpreted as absolute evidence
of the presence or absence of malignant disease.
