Methenolone
Mechanism of action:
Methenolone is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone. Methenolone can cross the cell membrane and bind to androgen receptors in the cytoplasm. The resulting ligand-receptor complex then translocates into the nucleus, where it binds to androgen response elements and regulates the expression of genes associated with muscle structure and cellular growth.
