Since sunlight converts cholesterol (which type?) into vitamin D and several
hormones are also generated from cholesterol, if one is taking hormone
supplements and/or T injections along with not getting much sun, would this
raise cholesterol - since it isn't being used as much - by a measurable
amount?

Jpn Heart J. 1997 Jan;38(1):73-82. indicates that a particular type
of testosterone therapy reduces LDL cholesterol.
