because people want power
the paper i linked(throw it on scihub) shows nandrolone affecting several relevant genes like estrogen/androgen/prolactin/GH, it’s worth a read
hormones are the only way to effectively change things
but i think the dynamics are even more interesting here, if you read that reddit link again you’ll see that the finasteride/nandro combo has exactly the opposite effect than fina on AR silencing process:
for AR silencing it get upregulated slowly then when fina is removed suddenly, AR overexpression and silencing occurs
with the combo it gets downregulated slowly(thanks to nandrolone being one of the most androgenic compounds)
5ar likely becomes upregulated also
then when fina is removed suddenly, all that nandrolone gets converted to DHN which signals the downregulated gene to re-express itself
we are talking at least 4 weeks for the genetic adaptation phase and 2 weeks for the AR re-expression
going to try it after the testosterone trial im doing now
