1998 journal article:bodybuilders testicular function permanently restored by 3month hcg. by what mechanism? isnt hcg suppressive of lh?

1998: A 1998 journal is a bit outdated. If you testosterone is normal - have you had it measured - it is unwise to take any extra T. If your testosterone is low, or you think it is, please see your doctor who will take your history, examine you, and order labs. By now you must know the problems super athletes get if they continue taking excess testosterone.
