17-alpha-methyl testosterone

Methyltestosterone is a 17-alpha-alkylated anabolic steroid used to treat men with a testosterone deficiency. It is also used in women to treat breast cancer, breast pain, swelling due to pregnancy, and with the addition of estrogen it can treat symptoms of menopause

Methyltestosterone can promote the male sex organs and used in seedling stage sex change. Methyltestosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen and is found in mammals and other vertebrates, Methyltestosterone is primarily secreted in the tests of mails and the ovaries of female, although small amount are also secreted by the adrenal glands, Methyltestosterone  is the principle male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid.

Applications:

Methyl-testo-sterone also known as 17-methyltestosterone or as 17-methylandrost-4-en-17-ol-3-one, is a synthetic, orally active androgenic-anabolic steroid (AAS) and 17-methylated derivative of testosterone that is used to treat males with androgen deficiency. It bears close structural similarity to testosterone, but has a methyl group at the C17 position in order to increase oral bioavailability. Due to efficient aromatization into the potent estrogen methylestradiol, methyl-testo-sterone has relatively high estrogenicity and hence potential side effects such as gynecomastia.

17alpha-methyl testosterone is used widely as a component of hormone replacement therapy. Previous reports have indicated that contrary to testosterone, 17alpha-methyl testosterone is not aromatized. However, 17alpha-methyl testosterone still could affect local estrogen formation by regulating aromatase expression or by inhibiting aromatase action. Both possibilities have important clinical implications.

What is the usage of 17-Methyltestosterone?

1. In fish culture, used to produce monosex populations of those species which tend to overpopulate.

2. These compounds stimulate anabolism and inhibit catabolism. They stimulate the development of muscle mass, strength, and power.
