Exemestane makes you slimmer and more muscular
Exemestane
Once women with an estradiol-sensitive form of cancer have undergone chemotherapy, an operation and radiation therapy, they usually take anti-oestrogens for five years after that. Most take tamoxifen for a couple of years and then go over to an anti-oestrogen like anastrozole or exemestane. Little is known about the long-term effects of exemestane, hence the Italian research.
Study
Results
The triglyceride levels in the blood of the women in the exemestane group went down – a positive development. At the same time exemestane increased the levels of LDL [bad cholesterol] and reduced the concentration of HDL [good cholesterol] – a negative development.
Androgenic and anabolic
This means that women should consider carefully whether to use exemestane or not. It also means that exemestane is now of interest to chemical athletes with modest aims.
If men take 25 mg exemestane daily their testosterone level rises by a third, researchers at Farmitalia discovered in the 1980s. [J Steroid Biochem. 1988; 30(1-6): 391-4.] A dose of 50 mg does the same.
So what would happen if you got men to take 25 mg or 50 mg exemestane daily for a year? And if those men were to do weight training as well?
