Andarine
Andarine
Andarine (pronounced an-dar-een), also known as S-4, is a type of Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM) that is used for various medical purposes. It was originally developed by GTX, Inc. for the treatment of conditions like muscle wasting, osteoporosis, and benign prostatic hypertrophy.
Etymology
The term "Andarine" is derived from the word "androgen", referring to any natural or synthetic compound, usually a steroid hormone, that stimulates or controls the development and maintenance of male characteristics.
Usage
Andarine is used in the medical field for its potential benefits in treating conditions that cause muscle wasting and bone loss. It is also being researched for its potential use in treating benign prostatic hypertrophy.
Mechanism of Action
Andarine works by selectively binding to the androgen receptors in the body. This selective binding is what makes SARMs like Andarine potentially safer and more effective than traditional steroids.
