Insulin - Insulin structure, mechanism, production, effects

Insulin discovery and actions INSULIN is a hormone with extensive effects on both metabolism and several other body systems (eg, vascular compliance). When present, it causes most of the body’s cells to take up glucose from the blood (including liver, muscle, and fat tissue cells), storing it as glycogen in the liver and muscle, and stops use of fat as an energy source. When insulin is absent (or low), glucose is not taken up by most body cells and the body begins to use fat as an energy source... 

HGH (human growth hormone) - The Truth About HGH Steroid

Effects of Human Growth Hormone Human Growth  Hormone (HGH) is a hormone that stimulates growth and cell reproduction in humans and other animals. It is a 191-amino acid, single chain polypeptide hormone which is synthesized, stored, and secreted by the somatotroph cells within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland. Somatotrophin refers to the growth hormone produced natively in animals, the term somatropin refers to growth hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology, and is abbreviated... 

Hexarelin (HEX) - Anabolic steroid profile of Hexarelin HEX

Hexarelin (HEX) is a peptide GH secretagogue, structurally similar to GHRP-6, in the growth factor family which stimulates the release of growth hormone (GH). It can be used medically to treat GH deficiency. Hexarelin Background Although relatively new, Hexarelin is becoming a popular choice as a performance enhancement drug. Hexarelin is currently available from several research companies. Hex Action Due to Hexarelin’s ability to increase secretion of natural Growth Hormone, most of its... 

GHRP-6 - Stimulation of Anabolic Steroid GHRP-6

GHRP-6 is a peptide in the growth factor family. It has strong effect on the release of Growth Hormone (GH). Its main use is to promote food intake by stimulating hunger and aid in energy metabolism. It can be used in the treatment of GH deficiency as well as cachexia, eating disorders and obesity. GHRP-6 Background Although still relatively new, peptides have recently become popular as performance enhancing drugs. GHRP-6 is currently available from a few research companies. Anabolic Action... 

Teslac (testolactone) - Teslac steroid indications and dosage

Teslac is neither an anabolic nor androgenic steroid. It is actually just considered a sex hormone that is a relative of testosterone and was developed for women for medical purposes. Teslac is widely used in the steroid community as probably the most effective anti-estrogen. When combined with Proviron, Teslac is almost certain to completely prevent estrogen conversion and it associated problems. Some have said it has even completely and permanently suppressed their estrogen content. It also effectively... 

Nolvadex (tamoxifen citrate) - Nolvadex steroid profile

Nolvadex is very comparable to Clomid, behaves in the same manner in all tissues, and is a mixed estrogen agonist/antagonist of the same type as Clomid. The two molecules are also very similar in structure. It is not correct that Nolvadex reduces levels of estrogen: rather, it blocks estrogen from estrogen receptors and, in those tissues where it is an antagonist, causes the receptor to do nothing. The claim that Nolvadex reduces gains should not be taken too seriously. The fact is that any number... 

Femara (letrozole) - Letrozole anabolic steroid profile

Letrozole (Femara) is a type II (non-steroidal) third generation aromatase inhibitor. Clinically it is used to treat postmenopausal women with either estrogen receptor positive or estrogen receptor unknown breast cancer. In women, tumors that contain estrogen receptors are classified as estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) tumors. For Letrozole to be prescribed, a given tumor must have been diagnosed as estrogen receptor positive or estrogen receptor unknown. In the world of bodybuilding it is used to... 

Fareston (toremifene citrate) - Fareston Steroid Profile

Toremifene Citrate (Fareston) is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) derived from triphenylethelyne. It is Licensed in the United States under the brand name “Fareston” and currently FDA approved for use in advanced (metastatic) breast cancer. It is currently being studies for use in prostate cancer as well. Toremifene citrate background Toremifene Citrate was originally patented as Fareston by the Orion Corporation of Finland, and approved for the treatment of breast cancer in Europe... 

Cytadren (aminoglutethimide) - Cytradren Steroid Profile

Cytadren, at moderate doses, is a fairly effective inhibitor of aromatase and a weak inhibitor of desmolase (an enzyme needed for the production of all steroids), and at higher doses becomes an effective inhibitor of desmolase. It is therefore useful when using aromatizable steroids, though it is not the drug of choice for this purpose. Inhibition of desmolase — the undesired side effect of Cytadren — will lead, at least temporarily, to decreased production of cortisol. Contrary to the... 

Clomid (clomiphene citrate) - Clomid anabolic steroid profile

Clomid is the anti-estrogen of choice for improving recovery of natural testosterone production after a cycle, improving testosterone production of endurance athletes, and is also effective in reducing risk of gynecomastia during a cycle employing aromatizable steroids. While it has been claimed that Clomid “stimulates” production of LH and therefore of testosterone, in fact Clomid’s activity is achieved not by stimulation of the hypothalamus and pituitary, but by blocking their inhibition...
