Nolva and Cholesterol...

[macho21]

I have been trying to dig any info on the effects of nolvadex on cholesterol. At the end of my last cycle, my cholesterol jumped to 11HDL and 197LDL, so I definitely want to protect myself in future cycles. I have read that 20mg of nolva will act as an estrogen in the liver, thus you get estrogens benefits on cholesterol. Most of the info I have gotten is speculation, but I want to see solid facts. Anybody have any input on the topic? Thanks

Here are a couple of things to think about : the bulk of evidence is that AS create an unfavorable LDL/HDL ratio. Does this inevitably lead to atherosclerosis? Not necessarily. Carotid artery intima-media thickening is generally thought to be a reliable early marker of atherogenesis. This study shows that AS using athletes show no more arterial wall thickening than non AS using athletes:

You can read some abstracts about nolvadex and decide what you think. There are some conflicting studies. Overall from the bulk of the studies I have seen, nolvadex lowers total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, with little effect on HDL.

It is much more difficult to raise HDL using OTC supplements than it is to lower LDL. Fish oil and flax oil both seem to lower LDL and total cholesterol without having much effect on HDL. There are cholesterol drugs like statins and fibrins that will raise HDL. Niacin is probably the best OTC way to raise HDL.

Here are a few nolvadex abstracts :
