Everything from Hematocrit/Hemoglobin to lipids, to tolerance to orals. It seems that your body has a far greater stress response in your 30s and 40s to drugs, compared to your 20s.
Is there an actual scientific reason behind this? Did you guys who've been doing this for decades notice this?
I've had a Hematocrit of 48, HDL of 54 (Granted Grandma's HDL has tested as much as 70 on her measly sedentary diet), and not much else out of range on 5-600 mgs of test and 500 mgs of NPP (which isn't insane, but still damaging bloodwork wise); the thing is, I'm in my early 20s, so I can apparently get away with it.
This won't be the case as one ages though. I wonder if the: "Time under stress" concept applies here, where if someone starts taking steroids in their 30s, their bloodwork won't be as bad as someone whose been doing this for 10 years, and are the same age.
