Uses
Androstanazol is an anabolic steroid used to manage hereditary angioedema.
Androstanazol is a synthetic anabolic steroid with therapeutic uses in treating C1-inhibitor deficient hereditary angioedema. C1-inhibitor is a protease that inhibits the complement system (part of the innate immune system), a biochemical chain of reactions which assists the body in removing pathogens from the body. Androstanazol may help control attacks of hereditary angioedema. Androstanazol can be administered orally or intramuscularly.
Androstanazol is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Hereditary Angioedema
How Androstanazol works
Androstanazol binds to androgen receptors, such as membrane bound receptor proteins LAGS and stanozolol-binding protein (STBP).
Androstanazol Cholesterol interaction
[Major] Androgenic anabolic steroids may adversely affect serum lipids, including lowering HDL and elevating LDL levels.
These changes can be marked, particularly with the 17-alpha-alkyl derivatives (i.e., fluoxymesterone, methyltestosterone, oxandrolone, oxymetholone, and stanozolol), and may significantly impact the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.
Patients with preexisting hyperlipoproteinemia may require closer monitoring during therapy with androgenic agents, and adjustments made accordingly in their lipid-lowering regimen.
Androgen therapy should be administered cautiously in patients with coronary artery disease or a history of ischemic heart disease.
