YK-11 is a synthetic steroid with anabolic effects, often classified as a Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM). It was first studied by Yuichiro Kanno in 2011, hence the name YK-11.
Pronunciation
YK-11 is pronounced as "why-kay-eleven".
Etymology
The name YK-11 is derived from the initials of its primary researcher, Yuichiro Kanno, and the year of its first study, 2011.
Description
YK-11 is a synthetic steroid based on 5-α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent form of testosterone that targets androgen receptors in the prostate, sex organs, hair, and liver. YK-11 is believed to be a SARM and produce the effects of steroids without the adverse side effects. However, it is not fully understood and is not approved for use in humans.
Effects
YK-11 is believed to have similar muscle-building effects to those of traditional steroids, but without some of the side effects. It is thought to promote muscle growth by inhibiting myostatin, a protein that prevents muscle cell growth and differentiation.
