Levels testing study

[dredd09]

I read this study posted by a source on evo that has me confused..these numbers are much lower than i was thinking. ---
- weekly injections of 25, 50, 125, 300, or 600 mg of testosterone enanthate for 20 wk. Energy and protein intakes were standardized. The administration of the GnRH agonist plus graded doses of testosterone resulted in mean nadir testosterone concentrations of 253, 306, 542, 1,345, and 2,370 ng/dl at the 25-, 50-, 125-, 300-, and 600-mg doses, respectively.

nadir= at the lowest point. those test concentrations were taken most likely right before their next injection, so those are the low points of their total test levels. people on forums usually try to test for their optimal levels, which are much higher

If you read into the study, those levels were observed 7 days post pin if I am remembering correctly. As IKN stated, this was the average low point for the study. We have been attempting to test at the peak. Dr. Scally has indicated that doing so will provide a more accurate representation of the relationship between dose administered and TT values observed.
