Metenolone
Metenolone
Metenolone (pronunciation: meh-ten-oh-lone), also known as methenolone, is a long-acting anabolic steroid with weak androgenic properties. It is used in the treatment of protein catabolism due to corticosteroid therapy, and to aid in the recovery from major surgeries and diseases that cause muscle wasting and weight loss.
Etymology
The term "Metenolone" is derived from the chemical structure of the compound, specifically the presence of a methyl group (meth-) and the steroid backbone (enolone).
Usage
Metenolone is often used in its ester form. The esters of metenolone are Metenolone enanthate and Metenolone acetate. Metenolone enanthate is used in the form of an injection, while metenolone acetate is often used orally due to its effective oral bioavailability.
Side Effects
Like all anabolic steroids, metenolone can have significant side effects. These can include cardiovascular disease, liver damage, and reproductive system disruption. It is important to use metenolone under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
