ApoB

ApoB (apolipoprotein B) counts every atherogenic lipoprotein particle — including LDL, VLDL, and IDL. It is a more accurate cardiovascular risk predictor than LDL-C, especially for AAS users who often have discordant LDL and particle counts.

Unit
mg/dL
Standard Range
< 100 mg/dL
TRT Optimal
< 100 mg/dL (TRT); < 80 mg/dL if additional CV risk
Common Issue on TRT / AAS

AAS users frequently show elevated ApoB with normal or borderline LDL-C, meaning standard lipid panels underestimate their true cardiovascular risk. ApoB above 120 mg/dL in an active AAS user warrants serious intervention.
