Study Notes
Dianabol
- Dianabol is an oral anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS)
- Increases muscle mass, strength, and performance
- Has estrogenic side effects, including gynecomastia, water retention, mood swings, and acne
- Has androgenic side effects, but less likely than testosterone, like hair loss, acne, and prostate enlargement
- May cause liver toxicity and cardiovascular health issues
- Increases red blood cell count
- High blood pressure may be a side effect
- May cause lower back pain
- Use of Dianabol and its side effects can be managed with various ancillaries
Dianabol's Estrogenic and Androgenic Side Effects
-
Dianabol converts to methylestradiol, which can lead to estrogenic side effects
-
Dianabol aromatizes, but not the same type of estradiol as testosterone
-
Dianabol has a weaker affinity for the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, but may still convert to DHT, causing androgenic side effects. ###Â Post-Cycle Therapy and HPG Axis Shutdown
-
Dianabol can suppress the body's natural testosterone production
-
Post-cycle therapy (PCT) is used to help the body recover and restore testosterone production
-
PCT involves using selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), such as Clomiphene, Enclomiphene, and/or Tamoxifen
-
HCG can be used to maintain testicular function, sperm production, and fertility
-
Dianabol provides enough estradiol conversion, so HPG axis shutdown during use is less of a symptom
-
The main symptom of HPG axis shutdown is testicular atrophy and reduced fertility
###Â Dianabol's Effects on Muscle Growth, Strength, and Fat Loss
- Dianabol increases protein synthesis, leading to muscle growth
- Dianabol can cause water retention, making it less suitable for cutting cycles
- Dianabol's water retention can mask true muscle gains, leading to disappointment when a cycle is stopped
- Dianabol can be used in low doses during cutting cycles to minimize muscle loss
Dianabol's Effects on the Body
- Dianabol has a positive effect on bone density and joint strength
- Dianabol may cause sleep disturbances due to potential high blood pressure or sleep apnea
- Dianabol is not recommended for long-term use due to its liver toxicity
- Dianabol may put a strain on the kidneys by causing water retention and increasing blood pressure
- Dianabol can cause dyslipidemia (low HDL, high LDL) and increase RBC count, both of which can contribute to heart disease
