Description
Epistane
Epistane is an anabolic compound that mainly affects the androgen receptors in muscles, giving a signal to create and develop new structures. In addition, it is indicated as an anti-estrogenic compound. It does not aromatize or show any progestational effect meaning it does not cause effects attributed to natural progesterone. This limits the probability of gynecomastia and other side effects caused by the activity of female hormones.
It binds to androgen receptors in skeletal muscle cells and interestingly, muscle stem cells. This leads to changes in muscle cell functioning and protein synthesis. In the case of muscle stem cells that actually change and connect with the active adult skeletal muscle, they increase the muscle potential for growth and repair.
