Testosterone, the major ligand of the androgen receptor (AR), subserves a wide range of physiologic functions, including bone and muscle growth, lipid metabolism, and protein synthesis. However, the overabundance of androgen in adult males may contribute to the development of disorders such as sex drive, gynecomastia, prostate cancer (PCa), and metabolic abnormalities. A SARM could be used to alleviate the side effects of these disorders by eliciting androgen-like activity in some tissues but not others.

eMule Anleitung is undergoing clinical trials and have shown promising results for treatment of a variety of diseases. In addition, they may be useful in the treatment of the wasting disease cachexia because they promote fat loss and improve muscle quality and endurance. SARMs have also demonstrated anti-tumor effects and anabolic properties in preclinical studies.

Unlocking Muscle Growth: The Role of SARMs in Fitness and Bodybuilding

A growing number of athletes and bodybuilders are using SARMs to increase muscle mass and strength. They may not be aware that they can be dangerous, and the FDA has received reports of adverse events associated with their use (89). The real number is likely higher because many individuals are reluctant to report such symptoms. Additionally, athletes may be unaware that SARMs can cause adverse effects such as acne and elevated HDL cholesterol.

Despite their potential medical applications, SARMs are not approved by the FDA and are typically found in unregulated dietary supplements. Service Members need to stay away from these products and avoid any dietary supplement labeled as containing an investigative SARM such as andarine, LGD-4033, ostarine, or XYZ-456. The use of these compounds is prohibited in competitions sanctioned by WADA and by most natural bodybuilding organizations and will flag drug tests just like anabolic steroids.
