Testosterone injections and SHBG levels

[Mike88]

Is there any effects of test injection on shbg levels
Also any studies support that
Did anyone check his shbg after test cycle

Thanks

Test injections usually lead to a lowering of SHBG levels.

One study: Sex hormone binding globulin response to testosterone. An androgen sensitivity test

Haven't measured shbg directly (yet), but judging from my high free T (6%), it's probably quite low. This is from 15 months of TRT.

 

[Mike88]

Free t can point out if your shbg is high or low
And yours is damn high, gd thing to know that AAS lowers shbg

As someone on TRT who has measured SHBG pre-TRT and lately, I can attest that my SHBG is lower.

Good to know. Did the levels recover? stabilize? Did low SHBG cause you any problem? Thanks.

My SHBG went from 35 (pre) to around 24 (range 11-71). It seems to have stabilized around here, but who knows what will happen as time goes on. Hard to say if it's caused any problems as I have some liver issues and since SHBG is made in the liver, there is just to many variables to know.

I will also point out that I am on adex and raloxifene, so it's entirely possible that the lowering of the SHBG is a combination of the Test + AI + Serm.

IMO I don't think that AIs or SERM will directly cause
SHBG To drop but indirectly by raising natural test along with the test that you're injecting
It's only my opinion

During my research I've found numerous references to using Nolvadex to increase SHBG...

Nolvadex keeps estrogen levels and only blocks it's effects
So this way it raises natural testosterone thus you will have more estrogen
But blocked by SERM, now why SERM will raise SHBG
is simply because estrogen Unlike testosterone, raises SHBG levels

4. Elevated Estradiol. SHBG synthesis is accelerated by estradiol, the "chief estrogen." If estradiol levels get too high, through weight gain, medications or other factors, SHBG can rise accordingly.

My SHBG is now 6... that is no typo!

Wow

What did u do to get like this???

 

[STAUNCHED427]

Lol no wouldn't say wow... It's actually a little bit worrysome. It does mean more free hormone, but it is well below range. I believe it may have been due to dbol use that lowered it. My SHBG even before TRT/AAS was already bottom range and has always stayed there.

Strangely enough my DHEA's are a little over range, not sure how that works if I am shut down and haven't run hCG after being on for a year...
