Understanding the chemical structure of test ain't gonna help you none regarding its effects in the body, there are some generalizations that can be made though. Like aromatic A rings and estrogen receptor affinity, double bonds in the B ring and androgenic potential and so on,
but that's really vague shit really.
But I'll explain a bit further;
Yes the 6C rings are cyclohexane rings, and the 5C ring a cyclopentene ring.
Doesn't really tell you anything at all; except that means it's a steroid;
All steroids follow this rule as a skeleton frame.
The Oxygen atom is in the A ring, and is a ketone in testosterone; a double bond, while it's a single bond to it thus being a hydroxyl group (OH) in estrogen.
The D ring is were the enanathate or any fatty acid is attached,
Or a methyl group is placed in "oral" steroids. (C17 methylated)
All this doesn't really mean jack shit at this level of chemistry though,
but I figure learning is always a good thing.
Just DO NOT extract any knowledge from this that isn't there.
