when talking about test

what is HPTA and HCA?

[sTaTic]

HPTA = Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Testes-Axis, which is our body’s androgen regulatory system.

HCA=Hydroxycitrate (I believe this is what you are talking about)

HCA is a fruit extract that decreases hunger and increases the amount of fat burned. Research on humans indicates that HCA increases fat use during exercise and prolongs time to exhaustion. According to animal research, HCA increases the activity of genes involved with fat and carb metabolism, as well as appetite control.

I'm sure Hooker can comment more on these for you.
