Fluoxymesterone

Fluoxymesterone, an androgenic hormone, is similar to the male hormone testosterone. Fluoxymesterone works by attaching itself to androgen receptors; this causes it to interact with the parts of the cell involved in the making of proteins. It may cause an increase in the synthesis of some proteins or a decrease in the synthesis of others. These proteins have a variety of effects, including blocking the growth of some types of breast cancer cells, stimulating cells that cause male sexual characteristics, and stimulating the production of red blood cells. It is prescribed for males when this hormone is absent or low or to treat delayed onset of puberty in males. It is also used in females with certain kinds of breast cancer.
