MENT is a synthetic androgen which cannot be 5 alpha-reduced. Therefore, relative to T, its stimulatory action on the prostate is lower than that on the muscle and pituitary. Like T, MENT undergoes enzymatic aromatization to an estrogen. We conclude that the use of MENT instead of T for androgen replacement therapy could have health-promoting effects by reducing the occurrence of prostate disease.
MENT是一种不能进行5α还原的合成雄激素。因此，相对于睾酮（T），它对前列腺的刺激作用低于对肌肉和垂体的刺激作用。与T一样，MENT会通过酶促反应芳香化为雌激素。我们得出结论，用MENT替代T进行雄激素替代疗法可能通过减少前列腺疾病的发生而产生促进健康的效果。
