    Simple, Non-invasive Test For Adrogenic / Estrogenic Tone

    One of the core issues in modern endocrinology is the relatively weak correlation between serum levels of steroids and the overall activity in the organism associated with a particular steroid. For example, post-menopausal women have very low levels of estradiol yet very high whole-body...

    CortiNon - Liquid Progesterone/DHEA Mix

    Progesterone Is Androgenic

As I mentioned in many other threads, progesterone is actually a true ligand for...

    Structural Requirements For An Optimal Anti-Catabolic Steroid

    This post will be a bit long, but I hope it is worth it. I think @Jsaute21 and @dand will find it highly interesting but the information here applies just as much to females wishing to preserve lean tissue and prevent the catabolism that often occurs with aging. Here we go. Lately, I have been...

    DeFibron - Liquid Methylated SFA For Lab/R&D

A number of studies have been posted on the forum indicating...

    Palmitic Acid Is Androgen Agonist, Increases Androgen Synthesis, Decreases Cortisol

    Palmitic acid has a bad reputation in mainstream medicine and the blogosphere. It is claimed to directly cause insulin resistance, obesity and even hypogonadism. Well, these studies found the exact opposite. The first one found that methyl-palmitate (MP) is an actual androgen receptor agonist...

    The Trophic Effects Of Androsterone

    As I mentioned in a few past threads, androsterone was studied intensively in the first half of the 20th century and one of the reasons was its functional similarity to thyroid. In addition to its hypocholesterolemic effect androsterone was also found to be highly trophic to a number of organs...

    Pregnenolone & Progesterone Are Both Agonists Of The Androgen Receptor

    Patients with prostate cancer are often treated with a combination of therapies such as 5-AR inhibitors to reduce production of DHT as well as other enzyme inhibitors to reduce conversion of DHEA into other downstream androgens. From the point of view of mainstream "treatment" for prostate...

    Unsaturation = Estrogenic, Saturation = Androgenic

Peat has written that saturated fats have effects opposite to those of PUFA and there are studies showing feeding saturated fat increases androgen synthesis. I have been researching...

    Remarkable Synergistic Effect Of Androsterone With DHEA

    The steroids androsterone (A) and DHEA are considered not very strong androgens in terms of direct activity on androgenic receptors. DHEA is often cited as having 1/10 of the androgenic effects of testosterone (T) and androsterone as having 1/7 of the androgenic effects. While that has been...

    Bioavailability, Androgenicity, And Estrogenicity Of DHEA

    I know that some forum members are considering taking or already are taking DHEA. As Peat has warned, and several studies confirmed, DHEA can be converted quite easily into estrogen if the dose used is too high or the person is under stress. In addition, there is some confusion about what route...
