Roids and fat loss

[Cuts]

O.k., I know how roids work to build muscle... they travel through our bloodsteam, into the nucleus of our muscle cells, and amplify the signal for protein synthesis... result: you put on more muscle mass. What I don't understand is, how do roids work to increase fat loss, or do they at all? Any thoughts?

No steroids cause fat loss

However muscle burns fat so the more muscle you have the more fat you burn. Some say that fina burns fat but there is no evidence that of it. If one does then its fina.

AS allow you to diet more aggressively because it will spare muscle that normally would be lost with this approach. Fina and Anavar both have reputations as being "fat burners" and I have experienced great results with these drugs in that respect. There has only been speculation as to why these specific drugs cause this effect, personally I don't care I just enjoy it while on.

Certain AAS increase lipo-protein lipase which is an enzyme responsible for breaking down stored fat into fatty acids and glycerol. They also stimulate the adrenergic system causing a realease of epinephrine and norepinephrine which will bind to the beta-adrenergic receptors and initiate a cascade of events leading to the release of stored fat. As was mentioned, AS also act on corticosteroid receptors blocking the binding of corisol on muscle tissue inhibiting the breakdown of muscle proteins. This "maintains" muscle, the metabolic furnaces of the body and so you have a higher metabolic rate. As also exert a nutrient partitioning effect favoring nutrient use by the muscles to meet the needs of the expressed genetic signal caused by the binding of the androgen to the androgen receptor...You can use more calories(protein).

clear concise response Beezer. thanks

And testosterone also increases Beta-adrenergic receptor population thus you can bind more catecholemines which means your adipose tissue is more sensitive to catecholemines which makes it easier to break down fat stores. None of this is really a direct effect which is why AS don't really "burn" fat, but they do make for an environment suitable for increased lipolysis.

I have seen and read studies on this. The only steroid if you call it that, thta I recall scientifically burning fat was GH. I will look for the article and post it if I find it.

GH burns fat, but I think that there is a study that says the only steroid proven to actually burn fat is Anavar, I remember when I took Anavar back in the day when it was anavar it definately leaned me up. But this last cycle I did with GH,Fina, Test and EQ also leaned me up quite a bit all I needed was to add winny and or anavar. As for that matter, when I did a winny only cycle I also leaned up.
