How Halotestin Affects PatientsFluoxymesterone is a man-made form of testosterone, a hormone found in males. It binds to androgen receptors, which changes how cells make proteins. The proteins it affects can stop the growth of certain types of breast cancer cells, trigger male sexual characteristics, and help the body create more red blood cells.
How Halotestin works in the bodyFluoxymesterone is a powerful artificial version of testosterone. It helps build muscle and strengthens bones, by binding to the androgen receptor. It also increases protein synthesis and reduces the breakdown of amino acids, leading to improved muscle growth. Fluoxymesterone has been linked to reducing or blocking the effects of hormones like prolactin and estrogen, which are linked to tumor growth.
