if testosterone goes high, or too high, it can feed back and shut down luteinizing hormone, which will then shut down further testosterone production
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

remember that the testicles making uh making testosterone but there's a negative feedback that negative feedback testosterone goes back and feeds back negatively on the pituitary and also on the hypothalamus but also estrogen goes back and feeds back negatively
Um, and then there's also like some stimulation of progesterone receptors that causes negative feedback as well. um among other things too. But the primary that are to be noted probably for this discussion, androgen receptors, estrogen receptors, when those are satisfactory or in a adequate amount um stimulated, it will tell your brain, okay, we have enough testosterone as well as DHT and estrogen that we don't need to make more essentially because we have, you know, a satisfied amount of estrogen receptor activation in the body. So we need to like clamp down and not make as much hormones because we don't want to have too much. So that will give negative feedback to the hypothalamus, pituitary, testicular axis to not produce as much G&RH and LH and FSH until those levels fall to where there's a need to make more hormones.
