2, Applications of 17-Alpha-Methyl-Testosterone/ Methyltestosterone:

Methyltestosterone also known as 17α-methyltestosterone or as 17α-methylandrost-4-en-17β-ol-3-one, is a synthetic, orally active androgenic-anabolic steroid (AAS) and 17α-methylated derivative of testosterone that is used to treat males with androgen deficiency. It bears close structural similarity to testosterone, but has a methyl group at the C17α position in order to increase oral bioavailability. Due to efficient aromatization into the potent estrogen methylestradiol, methyltestosterone has relatively high estrogenicity and hence potential side effects such as gynecomastia.

17alpha-methyl testosterone is used widely as a component of hormone replacement therapy. Previous reports have indicated that contrary to testosterone, 17alpha-methyl testosterone is not aromatized. However, 17alpha-methyl testosterone still could affect local estrogen formation by regulating aromatase expression or by inhibiting aromatase action. Both possibilities have important clinical implications.

Methyltestosterone can promote the male sex organs and used in seedling stage sex change. Methyltestosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen and is found in mammals and other vertebrates, Methyltestosterone is primarily secreted in the tests of mails and the ovaries of female, although small amount are also secreted by the adrenal glands, Methyltestosterone is the principle male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid.
