Description
Drostanolone is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone, most specifically 2alpha-methyldihydrotestosterone. The propionate ester used with this compound will extend its activity for only a few days. Drostanolone is a modified form of DHT, with an added methyl group onto carbon number two. This addition is what is known for increasing its anabolic strength due to the fact that without this addition, Dihydrotestosterone is effectively reduced into an inactive metabolite in muscle tissue by the enzyme 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. This modification on Masteron allows it to avoid interaction with this enzyme in muscle tissue, making it very anabolic where DHT would normally never have the capability to be.
