The work is well done but i think you've highly over estimated teh half life of tren it is no where near 72 hours.
I agree..
ZYG- I don't think parent trenbolone has a half life of 24 hrs.. If you read the last line of the study you posted,
"Thus, the disposition of 17 beta-trenbolone in humans
differs significantly from that in rats, which may have a bearing on the
toxicological evaluation of the hormone."
Parent androgens ususally have half lives of only a few hours. If the androgen has a 17 methyl group, the half life is further extended.. Example: Dbol half life is between 4-6hrs.. un-esterified Eq half life is only about 2hrs. (dbol is eq plus a 17aa). I belive the study indicates that rats do not pocess all of the androgen metabolism enzymes that humans do. Usually half-lives are shorter in rats, but androgens often undergo chemical alteration before excretion. That was the purpose for the radio-labeled trenbolone.
Anyway, if you re-made the graphs giving trenbolone acetate the proper half life of 24-36hrs, you will see over 100% jumps in blood concentration from ED to EOD injections! Incedentally, the values on the graph (300mg) are
inactive, esterified TA.. You would need to subtract one day from the next for
active androgen released.
I might also add... twice daily injections have a benefit that is not fully reflected in the mathematical (theoretical model). This is because home-made preparations are usually more concentrated and have a good portion of benzyl alcohol. First, the larger the concentration of the AAS in oil, the faster the diffusion rate. Second, if BA was used to make an unusually high concentration of AAS in oil, once injected, water in the body will extract out the BA leaving a large amount of steroid precipitated, and remaining steroid dissolved in oil.
This all means that 1) using BA to make a solution in oil that normally would not fit and/or 2) Making a high concentration of steroid in oil, can markedly accellerate the release rate. This really cannot be taken into account with a theoretical model since it would be quite difficult to quantify the in vivo effects of such preparations. If there were graphs made with this taken into accound, there would be even greater jumps in blood concentrations from ED to EOD injections.
This is the precise reason why I advocate making no more than 50mg/ml trenbolone acetate.
Great job on the graphs!! I would like to see you do another set, giving TA a half of 24-36hrs!
