11-OXO known as adrenosterone, is a prohormone produced in the adrenal glands.
11-OXO is a prohormone and it's conversion hormone is known as 11-ketotestosterone , which is quite an interesting hormone, being a mild androgen in humans and a sex steroid in fish. 11-oxo is a non-aromatizing analogue of Testosterone, which causes dry lean gains and fat loss, along with an increased sexual desire.
11-oxo's conversion to 11-ketotestosterone in humans is much of what contributes to it's noticeable androgenic effect in the user.11-Keto-androstenedione or 11-keto-androstenetrione are trademark names for this hormone, while the correct name would be androst-4-ene-3,11,17-trione., however this article we will mostly refer to it as 11-oxo.
This is where 11-OXO really shines, in fact 11-OXO is rarely used on it's own, it's commonly stacked with other compounds. Due to it's non-methylated design, 11-OXO can be stacked with virtually any popular designer steroid or pro-hormone. Most users stacking 11-OXO with other compounds are primarily doing so to control cortisol levels and reduce bodyfat, while allowing the other compound to increase strength and size gains, users stacking 11-OXO with other compounds should stick to lower dosages i.e 300mg-600mg. Below is a short list of several compounds 11-OXO is commonly stacked with.
L'azione principale dell'adrenosterone è quella di abbassare i livelli di cortisolo. Il cortisolo è il principale catabolico (mangiare muscoli) ormone e promuove anche l'aumento di grasso. Anche il cortisolo e il testosterone funzionano in una relazione inversa, quindi livelli elevati di cortisolo abbassano il testosterone. L'adrenosterone agisce come un inibitore competitivo, impedendo al cortisone di legarsi alla 11b-idrossisteroide deidrogenasi di tipo I reduttasi. Competendo al recettore, impedisce al cortisone di legarsi e convertirsi in cortisolo attraverso l'enzima. L'adrenosterone si trova naturalmente nel corpo e viene rilasciato dalle ghiandole surrenali. Il corpo lo usa come un modo per aiutare a regolare i livelli di cortisolo.
