⚙️ Mechanism of Action

• Steroidal SARM/analogue: Binds androgen receptors (AR) as a partial agonist—unlike full agonists, it does not support classic N/C terminal interactions pathofpeds.com+5en.wikipedia.org+5wikibolics.com+5.

• Myostatin inhibition: Upregulates follistatin, reducing myostatin activity and promoting muscle differentiation in vitro pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+10en.wikipedia.org+10publichealthlaw.net+10.

🔬 Research Applications & Evidence

• Enhanced muscle development: Improved growth in C2C12 myoblasts; superior anabolic activity vs. DHT in lab settings reddit.com+15en.wikipedia.org+15publichealthlaw.net+15.

• Bone health potential: May support osteoblast proliferation/mineralization, signaling through Akt pathway publichealthlaw.net+1steroiduck.com+1.

• Neurochemical effects: Animal study (~350 mg/kg in rats for 5 weeks) found hippocampal inflammation, oxidative stress, and memory impairments reddit.com+7pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+7chemicalbook.com+7.

⚠️ Safety & Side Effects

• No approved clinical data: No human or formal animal clinical trials exist steroiduck.com+6selfhacked.com+6musclemastery.net+6.

• Potential liver toxicity: Derived from steroid structure; hepatotoxicity is a concern reddit.com+8sarms.io+8musclemastery.net+8.

• Hormonal suppression: Likely stronger than non-steroidal SARMs—common testosterone suppression noted nanotechproject.org+5musclemastery.net+5sarms.io+5.

• Joint/tendon issues: Frequently reported by users steroiduck.com+15sarms.io+15anabolica.net+15.

• Neurological risk: Anxiety, aggression, and potential panic; inflammation and oxidative stress in neuronal tissue .
