I can't help but to wonder the incredibly low DHEA levels these men had. Makes me suspect that DHEA levels are very low in angina pectoris survivors, and that DHEA supplement could be very therapeutic in these cases.There are several, but most of them published in Bulgarian, Iranian, Indian or Chinese journals. Here is one published in a better known Western journal.
Effect of oral administration of Tribulus terrestris extract on semen quality and body fat index of infertile men. - PubMed - NCBI
That study above is whack though. It considered a 3-fold increase in DHEA and a drop of prolactin from 17 down to 7 to be both non-significant, which is impossible to take seriously! Anybody who experiences such dramatic improvements in DHEA and prolactin will just laugh at the notion of the P-value and statistics.
@Wagner83 - have you seen this study?
I am starting to suspect that many TT studies in Western journals are purposefully mis-reported or designed in a way to show no effect from TT. A powerful OTC cortisol blocker that can treat hypogonadism, depression and obesity could decimate drug sales. Since cortisol is often a cause of female hypogonadism as well, the threat to Big Pharma from such a cheap herbal tonic with no known serious side effects ([406 cases of angina pectoris in coronary heart disease treated with saponin of Tribulus terrestris]. - PubMed - NCBI) cannot be overstated.
