by Bill Roberts - Winstrol is a potent anabolic,
but also binds to the progesterone receptor and
to LAGS in the liver. In muscle tissue, it has been
found to stimulate immediate-early gene expression
by a means independent of the AR. Stanozolol can
stimulate the production of prostaglandin E2 and
the matrix metalloproteases collegenase and stromelysin
in skin fibroblasts. It has been found to inhibit
growth factor stimulated DNA synthesis and fibroblasts.
The drug has substantial fibrinolytic properties,
and has been effective in the treatment of urticaria,
Raynaud's phenomenon, cryptofibrinogenemia, and
lipodermatosclerosis. It has also effected cures
of osteonecrosis in cases resistant to all other
therapy. Stanozolol has been used successfully in
treatment of AIDS wasting syndrome.
This drug is also useful in treatment of hereditary
angioedema. It is somewhat hepatotoxic, but less
so than many other oral anabolic steroids. It influences
some immunological processes. Stanozolol has been
found to increase lymphocyte count and CD8+ cell
numbers, but to decrease CD4+ and CD3+ in postmenopausal
women using it for osteoporosis. This effect would
plausibly be useful for treatment of autoimmune
disorders.
Stanozolol also lowers lipoprotein (a).
