Metribolone / Methyltrienolone CAS 965-93-5

Methyltrienolone, commonly known as "Methyl-Tren" or "MTren," is an extremely potent androgenic anabolic steroid. It is a synthetic derivative of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Methyltrienolone is known for its exceptionally strong anabolic properties and is considered one of the most powerful steroids available. However, it is also associated with significant risks and potential side effects.

Mechanism of Action: 

Methyltrienolone works by binding to androgen receptors in various tissues, including muscle cells. It increases protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, which contribute to muscle growth and preservation. Its androgenic effects are responsible for its ability to enhance strength and physical performance.

Use and Misuse:

 Methyltrienolone was never approved for medical use in humans due to its potent nature and high risk of side effects. Instead, it has been predominantly used in the world of bodybuilding and athletics for its potential to rapidly increase muscle mass and strength.

Side Effects and Risks: 

Methyltrienolone's extreme potency comes with a significant risk of adverse effects, both androgenic and hepatotoxic (harmful to the liver). Its androgenic properties can lead to masculinizing effects, such as severe acne, hair loss, deepening of the voice in women, and virilization (development of male characteristics) in women.

Common side effects and risks associated with Methyltrienolone use include:

Liver toxicity: Methyltrienolone is one of the most hepatotoxic steroids, meaning it can cause serious liver damage.

Cardiovascular effects: It can negatively impact cholesterol levels, increase blood pressure, and increase the risk of cardiovascular issues.

Suppression of natural testosterone production: Like other anabolic steroids, Methyltrienolone can lead to a decrease in the body's own testosterone production.

Legality:

 Methyltrienolone is a controlled substance in many countries and is not approved for human use due to its high risks and lack of medical benefits. Its use in sports and bodybuilding is prohibited by most sports organizations and anti-doping agencies due to its extreme potency and potential for performance enhancement.
