Can masteron substitute for proviron?

[AnatomicallyBlessed]

Will masteron completely mimic the effects of proviron ? Can i stop taking proviron while on masteron?

[PowerHouse555]

I have wondered this myself

No.

Estrogen binds to the same SHBG as androgens.So by lowering your SHBG(with masteron ),you are also elevating bioavailable estrogen.
With that said,it would be wise to continue on with proviron to combat estrogen,and using the masteron(DHT derivative) to lower SHBG levels to free up more testosterone .

Couple studies to show how effective androgens(winny and masteron ) effect SHBG.

Sex hormone-binding globulin response to the anabolic steroid stanozolol : evidence for its suitability as a biological androgen sensitivity test.

Both the androgen-induced decline in serum sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels during puberty and the anabolic effect of exogenous testosterone are absent in patients with androgen insensitivity (testicular feminization). To determine whether the androgen-induced decline in serum SHBG could be used as a test of androgen sensitivity, we studied the effect of the anabolic-androgenic steroid stanozolol (17 beta-hydroxy-17 alpha-methyl-5 alpha-androstano-[3,2-c]pyrazol) on serum SHBG in 25 control subjects, 3 patients with complete androgen insensitivity, and 4 patients with partial androgen insensitivity. Stanozolol was administered orally for 3 days (0.2 mg/kg.day); blood samples were taken before and 5, 6, 7, and 8 days after the beginning of the test for measurements of serum SHBG. The lowest value (i.e. the peak response) in each subject was used as the measure of the response to stanozolol. In the control subjects the mean nadir serum SHBG level was 51.6 +/- 5.9% (+/- SD) of the initial value (P less than 0.001). In the 4 patients with partial androgen insensitivity the nadir serum SHBG ranged from 73-89%, and in the 3 patients with complete androgen insensitivity it ranged from 93-97% of the initial value. Thus, the decrease in serum SHBG after short term administration of stanozolol reflects androgen responsiveness and, thus, may be used to differentiate patients with androgen insensitivity syndromes from those with other causes of male pseudohermaphroditism.

Thanx pinnacle, I'm just now checking up on this thread (internet has been acting up)

Damn, I was hoping it would sub for pro. I am running short on pro since I have doubled my intake.

Thx for the article.
