First off saw palmetto is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (5-AR is responsible for reducing test to DHT), it has no 'blocking effect' at the androgen receptor to my knowledge. In an off-cycle situation, inhibiting 5-AR (depends on what type and how much) will decrease DHT and will increase endogenous test production and therefore estrogens as well [...]

[...] limb resistance training program. They were assessed at baseline (PRE) and after 12 wk (POST). The primary outcome was the physical function as measured by the timed-stands test. Secondary outcomes included lean mass, quality of life, pain, stiffness, and muscle strength. RESULTS: Physical function was significantly improved only in the CR group [...]

[...] ingestion could enhance prolonged intermittent sprint exercise performance. METHODS: EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: a randomised, double-blind crossover design was employed. SETTING: testing was performed at the Western Australian Institute of Sport and participants were monitored and treated by both scientific and medical personnel. PARTICIPANTS: eight [...]

[...] measured before and after the intervention. Blood samples, and appetite sensations by visual analogue scales, were collected during fasting, during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and 4 h postprandially after a test meal. Subsequently, an ad libitum meal was given. RESULTS: Thirty-one subjects completed the protocol. Eight weeks of [...]

[...] and were randomized to receive either placebo (n=23) or bioactive supplement (n=57) in a double-blind, 8-week intervention. The thermogenic effect of the compound was tested at the first and last day of intervention, and blood pressure, heart rate, body weight and composition were assessed. RESULTS: Weight loss during the induction phase [...]

[...] - przegląd badań naukowych. Zaczniemy od bardzo ciekawego badania z Australii, z roku 2007, długie estry przez mniej niż 6 tygodni! 1. The effect of short-term use of testosterone enanthate on muscular strength and power in healthy young men. Use of testosterone enanthate has been shown to significantly increase strength within 6-12 [...]

[...] for 2 days. Following baseline measures, the medication was administered at 0900 h for the single doses and at 0900, 1500 and 2100 h for the multiple doses. The psychometric test battery was administered pre-dose (0830 h) and then at frequent intervals until 11 h post dose. The results confirm that the effects of GBE extract on aspects of [...]

[...] especially important, since being sidelined with a viral infection, or other illness, can force one to miss valuable workout time. Zinc deficiency is problematic as plasma testosterone is regulated in part by zinc. Therefore, a zinc deficiency may adversely affect this hormone, causing muscular mass and strength to suffer. Your doctor can [...]

[...] in susceptible individuals and is anatomically defined within a given pattern of the scalp. Biochemically, one contributing factor of this disorder is the conversion of testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) via the enzyme 5-alpha reductase (5AR). This metabolism is also key to the onset and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia [...]

[...] to 1 mg/day. It should be noted that folic acid supplementation can mask the diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency when the complete blood count is used as the sole screening test. Patients in whom vitamin B12 deficiency is suspected and who are taking folic acid should have their serum vitamin B12 measured. Vitamin B12 deficiency can also [...]

[...] fashion. Subjects ingested 3 g x day(-1) of HMB or placebo for 6 weeks. Tests were conducted pre-supplementation and following 3 and 6 weeks of supplementation. The testing battery assessed body mass, body composition (using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry), and 3-repetition maximum isoinertial strength, plus biochemical parameters, [...]

[...] a single full therapeutic dose (24 mg) of ephedrine taken orally has any effect upon physical performance and fitness. Twenty-one healthy males, aged 19-30 years, were tested on three occasions within three weeks using a double-blind modified crossover design. The effects of ephedrine were determined by comparing the differences between [...]

They took a psychological test (PF Study) at the start and end of the study. This study started at the end of summer vacation and ended just before the final exams. In the control group, external [...]

Does an energy drink modify the effects of alcohol in a maximal effort test?Ferreira SE, de Mello MT, Rossi MV, Souza-Formigoni ML. Department of Psychobiology, Federal University of Sao Paulo (UNIFESP), Sao Paulo Brazil. BACKGROUND: There are popular reports on the combined use of alcohol and energy drinks (such as Red Bull and similar [...]

[...] osteoarthritis. We examined the effect of dietary supplementation with a natural extract of chicken combs with a high content of hyaluronic acid (60%) (Hyal-Joint) (active test product, AP) on pain and quality of life in subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee. METHODS: Twenty subjects aged > or =40 years with knee osteoarthritis (pain for [...]

[...] of supplementation with either creatine monohydrate powder in solution (CP) or a widely available creatine serum (CS) on performance in a repeated maximal sprint cycling test (10 x 6 seconds, 24-second passive rest between sprints). Using a randomized, double-blind, crossover design, 11 competitive male athletes supplemented with creatine in [...]

[...] the double-blind placebo-controlled randomized cross-over study. Two 10 min cycling trials were performed at a power corresponding to 90 % VO 2 max for the first and a mock test for the second, separated by 10 min of passive recovery after ingestion of placebo (Pla), salbutamol (Sal, 6 mg) and caffeine (Caf, 250 mg). Performance (mean power [...]

[...] response to increasing load, then hypertrophy should go up as load goes up. In other words the group that lifted the heaviest relative weight should have experienced the greatest amount of hypertrophy in ALL fiber types irrespective of the number of reps (within reason). And that is exactly what happened. Here is a breakdown of the hypertrophy [...]
