Methyltestosterone is a 17 alpha alkylated oral steroid that is a form of testosterone,it is the principle male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid found in mammals and conserved through most vertebrates, although fish make a slightly difference from called 11-ketotestosterone.It is primarily secreted in the tests of mails and the ovaries of female, although small amount are also secreted by the adrenal glands.

The methyltestosterone steroid is an oral form of testosterone. The oral testosterone is inactive, because a good part of it is used in the liver metabolism and it is decomposed, so only 5-10% will be present in blood. If you will analyze carefully, you will observe that this steroid is a 17-alfa methyltestosterone, meaning that on the C-17 molecule’s position is growing a methyl group, so the Methyltestosterone is decomposed and it is inactivated in the liver area .
