How 7alpha-Methylnandrolone works
7alpha-Methylnandrolone is a potent inhibitor of the release of the luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). As spermatogenesis requires both testosterone and FSH, it is impaired by the reduction in FSH caused by trestolone as well as the reduction in LH, and subsequent reduction in testosterone.
