Cortisol.

[Bobby Bani]

Can anyone elaborate the affects of high cortisol rendering someone into a catabolic state. It's been 4 months since my first cycle and my testosterone is at the lower end, as well as having moderately high cortisol.

Cheers.

Moderately high cortisol (BUT still within the normal range I presume) is that your DX based on lab testing or what your Doc said has caused a "catabolic state"?

Otherwise the metabolic effects of cortisol are worth reviewing on Wikipedia for starters.
