    Default The Concept and Purpose Behind Modifying Testosterone to Create Analogues

    The Concept and Purpose Behind Modifying Testosterone to Create Analogues

    The concept behind chemically altering and modifying Testosterone is to create variants and analogues of Testosterone that could exhibit varying effects in the body that may be more beneficial in certain areas of function than Testosterone originally would be. Such modifications would allow a particular anabolic steroid analogue to be more preferable to treat a certain condition or disease in medicine than Testosterone itself would be able to. Other reasons for the modification of Testosterone resulting in different anabolic steroid derivatives include the development of a more convenient anabolic steroid for various individuals in different age groups (children or elderly patients, for example), gender categories, or for patients suffering from debilitations and diseases whereby Testosterone itself may worsen an individual’s medical condition in a certain area (in such a case, an analogue that may avoid effects in a particular area of the body may be beneficial).


    One particularly specific goal behind the creation of different types of steroids is the quest to create what would be considered a perfect anabolic steroid. This is evidenced by the anabolic steroid development boom of the 1950s – 1980s. The quest during this anabolic steroid boom was to develop/discover an anabolic steroid that could be considered ‘perfect’ in the sense that it would provide the user with all of the benefits of the anabolic effects, and none of the undesirable estrogenic or androgenic side effects. Although no anabolic steroids have ever been deemed as the ‘perfect’ and 100% safe anabolic steroid, there are a few anabolic steroids that have come the closest to this idea of the perfect steroid.


    When the concept of anabolic steroids for the purpose of performance and physique enhancement is considered, the idea behind the use of different anabolic steroid types is quite clear. The first obvious idea behind the development and use of different analogues is that of the use or discovery of an anabolic steroid analogue that would exhibit a stronger anabolic effect than Testosterone itself. If a stronger anabolic effect with a reduced strength in androgenic effects is created, an anabolic steroid that exhibits less undesirable side effects and more of the desirable anabolic effects would be favorable to an athlete. This is also the concept behind the use of an anabolic steroid that would provide the athlete with less negative effects while exhibiting more of the positive effects. In creating different types of steroids and analogues, different anabolic steroids can exhibit different attributes that are favorable to the athlete in comparison to Testosterone itself, which may present some disadvantages for athletes in various areas. This is especially true for athletes involved in various sporting activities in which the use of Testosterone or various other anabolic steroids are unfavorable due to various attributes they may have that could possibly reduce performance in specific athletic activities.


    For example, anabolic steroids such as Testosterone have a tendency to promote water retention through their ability to be aromatized into Estrogen via the aromatase enzyme. While such an effect might not be a concern for a strength athlete or a powerlifter (such an effect might even be beneficial or desired in such sports), this is not a desired effect for athletes involved in sports that involve speed and swiftness, such as sprinting. Instead, a sprinter, for example, would more likely opt for an anabolic steroid such as Stanozolol (Winstrol) or Oxandrolone (Anavar), which are two anabolic steroids unable to convert into Estrogen and therefore the issue of water retention, and therefore the issue of added weight that would slow the athlete down is avoided. Many athletes may also elect to ‘stack’ anabolic steroids in a given cycle (stacking refers to the practice of combining more than one anabolic steroid in a cycle). In the case of cycle stacks, an individual might be able to increase the synergy and synergistic effects between the anabolic steroids to create a highly anabolic environment or to create a stack that might assist the user in favoring certain particular athletic or physique goals. These are some of the major reasons as to why the development of different types of steroids has been done.



    It is actually quite ironic in the sense that the very first officially created derivative of Testosterone (Dianabol) was actually designed for the purpose of athletic performance in mind – not for the purpose of medical use.
