Methandrostenolone (Dianabol) is an anabolic steroid.
Methandrostenolone does not react strongly with the androgen receptor,
instead relying on activity not mediated by the receptor for its
effects. These include dramatic increases in protein synthesis,
glycogenolysis, and muscle strength over a short space of time.
However, due to its mode of action, it decreases the rate of cell
respiration and decreases production of red blood cells. In high doses
(30 mg or more per day), side effects such as gynaecomastia, high blood
pressure, acne and male pattern baldness may begin to occur. The drug
causes severe masculinising effects in women even at low doses. In
addition, it is metabolised into estradiol by aromatase. This means
that without the administration of aromatase inhibitors such as
Anastrozole or Aminoglutethimide, estrogenic effects will appear over
time in men. Many users will combat the estrogenic side effects with
Nolvadex or Clomid. In addition, as with other 17alpha-alkylated
steroids, the use of methandrostenolone over extended periods of time
can result in liver damage without appropriate care.
The 17alpha-methylation of the steroid does allow it to pass through
the liver without being broken down (hence causing the aforementioned
damage to the liver) allowing it to be taken orally. It also has the
effect of decreasing the steroid's affinity for sex hormone binding
globulin, a protein that de-activates steroid molecules and prevents
them from further reactions with the body. As a result,
methandrostenolone is significantly more active than an equivalent
quantity of testosterone, resulting in rapid growth of muscle tissue.
However, the concomitant elevation in estrogen levels - a result of the
aromatization of methandrostenolone - results in significant water
retention. This gives the appearance of great gains in mass and
strength, which prove to be temporary once the steroid is discontinued
and water weight drops. Because of this, it is often used by
bodybuilders only at the start of a "steroid cycle", to facilitate
rapid strength increases and the appearance of great size, while
compounds such as testosterone or nandrolone with long acting esters
build up in the body to an appreciable amount capable of supporting
anabolic function on their own.
