Are you aware of a relationship between testosterone and spinal injuries?

Hello Mike,

Well first of all I knew nothing of what you are alluding to in your question, so I have had to do some research, and low and behold, I found this article:

Effects of co-administration of clenbuterol and testosterone propionate on skeletal muscle in paraplegic mice. (http://tiny.cc/2bkzr)

Spinal cord injuries are often related to paid and significant changes in skeletal muscle mass and properties. In the above study, they looked at the effects of clenbuterol (β2 agonist with some structural and pharmacological similarities to epinephrine and salbutamol, but its effects are more potent and longer-lasting as a stimulant and thermogenic drug) and testosterone propionate on skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in adult, spinal cord transected mice.

The trial looked at clen alone, test alone, and then together immediately post transection. The substances were found to differentially reduce loss in body weight, muscle mass, and muscle fiber cross-sectional area (CSA) values. Although all three treatments induced significant effects, testosterone-treated animals were generally less protected against transection related changes.

None of the treatments prevented fat tissue loss or muscle fiber type conversion and functional loss generally found in transected animals. These results provide evidence suggesting that clenbuterol alone or combined with testosterone may constitute better clinically-relevant treatments than testosterone alone to decrease muscle atrophy (mass and fiber CSA) in spinal cord inured subjects.

This has not been trialed on humans, and my gut feeling is that it won't be. There are so many potential side effects to consider, all of the risks associated with anabolic steroid use and clenbuterol use. I like the thinking of the researchers, and they might be onto something, but not this drug combination in my humble opinion.
