h=3]Fat Loss[/h]Anavar significantly increases the body’s Triiodothyronine (T3) to thyroxine (T4) ratio (2). T3 is the active thyroid hormone which elevates a person’s metabolism and enhances fat loss (3). Similar to how free testosterone is the most important testosterone score for building muscle mass, T3 is the most important thyroid score, for increased fat-burning.
Anavar increases T3 by dramatically reducing TBG (thyroid-binding globulin), whilst simultaneously spiking TBP (thyroxine-binding prealbumin). This process increases the uptake of T3 at a cellular level.
Fat loss is somewhat noticeable on anavar, with research showing that a moderate dose of 20mg per day can result in 4lbs of fat loss over the course of 12 weeks (4). Thus research shows that anavar’s anabolic effects outweigh its fat-burning properties, with participants in the same study gaining 7lbs of muscle.
Not only does anavar burn subcutaneous fat, but it also reduces visceral fat. This is different to other anabolic steroids, which typically reduce subcutaneous fat, whilst increasing visceral fat (5). This may be due to anavar improving insulin sensitivity (6), whilst other steroids can result in a person becoming less sensitive to insulin (7); potentially leading to steroid-induced diabetes.
