Masteron 100mg

The specific name for Masteron is actually Dromostanolone (Drostanolone was a slightly more abbreviated name given to the compound shortly after its release). As mentioned previously, it is a modified derivative of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), placing it into the family of DHT-derivatives and analogues. Masteron is a modified form of DHT, where a methyl group at the 2nd carbon (known as carbon alpha) atom. This modification is what is known to be responsible for the slight anabolic strength increase in comparison to Testosterone. This methyl group addition increases the anabolic strength by way of granting Masteron an increased resistance to being metabolized into inactive metabolites by the enzyme 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. This enzyme is present in large quantities in muscle tissue, and is the enzyme that serves to metabolize any DHT that enters muscle tissue into two inactive metabolites: 3-Alpha Androstanediol and 3-Beta Androstanediol that are non-anabolic what so ever in muscle tissue. This is therefore the reason as to why DHT is not anabolic in muscle tissue at all, and many chemists and biologists believe that if the enzyme 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase did not exist in muscle tissue, that DHT would actually be a very potent and powerful anabolic steroid.
