YK-11 is generally classified as a SARM, although it may also have some steroid-like properties. Some researchers have suggested that YK-11 may be more accurately classified as a "myostatin inhibitor" due to its unique ability to selectively inhibit myostatin, a protein that regulates muscle growth. However, because YK-11 binds to androgen receptors and has androgenic effects, it is still typically classified as a SARM.
YK-11 is known for its potential potent muscle-building properties and research suggests it works by inhibiting the action of myostatin, a hormone that limits muscle growth, and increasing the production of follistatin, a protein that promotes muscle hypertrophy. Theoretically, this could lead to increased muscle mass and strength beyond what is achievable with other SARMs. YK-11 may also increase bone density and promote fat loss by activating the protein kinase B signalling pathway and promoting the production of brown adipose tissue. Furthermore, YK-11 may even have the potential to increase endurance and speed up recovery times by increasing the levels of PPARδ and reducing inflammation through COX-2.
May increase muscle growth and bone density*
YK-11 is a powerful SARM / Myostatin Inhibitor that may promote healthy muscle and bone development. It appears to work by increasing the production of follistatin, a protein that inhibits the action of myostatin. Myostatin is a hormone that limits muscle growth by limiting the proliferation and differentiation of muscle cells. By inhibiting its action, this should promote the growth of muscle cells and stimulate muscle hypertrophy, resulting in increased muscle mass and strength. By inhibiting myostatin, YK-11 may promote muscle growth beyond what is typically achievable with other SARMs. Furthermore, YK11 may also increase the levels of osteocalcin, a hormone that promotes bone formation, which can help to support bone health.
Appears to improve fat metabolism*
YK-11 may also help to promote fat loss by increasing the body's metabolic rate. It appears to achieve this by activating the protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway, which can stimulate the production of brown adipose tissue (BAT), a type of fat that burns calories to generate heat. Theoretically this process may aid in the body's ability to metabolize fat.
Potential to help endurance and recovery times
YK-11 may help to improve endurance and reduce recovery times by increasing the production of the protein PPARδ, which plays a role in energy metabolism. This may result in increased endurance during physical activity. Additionally, YK-11 shows promise increasing the levels of the protein COX-2, which plays a role in inflammation. By reducing inflammation, this could help to speed up recovery times and reduce muscle soreness.
