Interesting study popped up from the guys at Ergo-log recently.
The usual caveats apply, in that this is a study on rodents, not humans. However researchers in Iran discovered that when giving rats Royal Jelly at a dose of about 1g daily (human equivalent), it prevented the oxidative damage to the testes caused by Anadrol at 50mg/day.
We're already starting to discover that preventing damage to the testes on cycle is probably the best way of standing any chance of genuinely recovering post-cycle, and that standard PCTs evidently do little to secure long-term recovery.
The Royal Jelly worked because it prevented the down-regulation of the catalase enzyme that occurs with anadrol use (and undoubtedly other AAS). Catalase helps eliminate ROS (oxidants) from the testes and thus prevents the kind of cellular massacre that occurs as a result of exogenous AAS use.
This is different to the effect of taurine, which also helps protect cells of the testes (in rats, at least) indirectly via it's role in supporting other powerful anti-oxidative mechanisms like glutathione (GSH).
