Trestolone belongs to the 19-nor family of anabolic steroids. The formal name for MENT is 7-alpha-methly-nortestosterone. Typically the 19-nor family of steroids causes sexual dysfunction in males. This is where MENT differs. MENT does not contain the same negative side effects you get from Nandrolone or Trenbolone in terms of erectile disfunction.
MENT is the only steroid today that is capable of maintaining normal male sexual behavior. This is the main reason MENT was looked at for male birth control. It limits the production of sperm by suppressing spermatogenesis, but does not limit the sexual functionality of a man.
MENT has a very strong binding affinity to the AR receptor. Research shows that it is far greater than that of Testosterone. With that, it does have a strong ability to aromatize which can be detrimental to your muscle gains (estrogen can be nasty when trying to gain size).
A unique factor about MENT, according to TigerFitness.com, is that it does not bind to the sex hormone binding globulin (which means if it did bind to SHBG it could not bind to the AR receptor). MENT is free to bind to the androgen receptor and elicit the benefits you'd want from an anabolic steroid.
Another unique factor about MENT is it is incapable of binding to 5-alpha-reductase and cannot convert into DHT. The reason for this is the makeup of Trestolone on the carbon 7 of the molecule.
A concern for many steroid users is the effect on the male prostate. MENT is favorable in this area as research has shown that it has a lesser effect on the prostate as compared to Testosterone. This reduces the potential risk of prostate issues later in life.
