Stanozolol has been used for postmenopausal osteoporosis, hereditary angioedema, anemias, and vascular manifestations of Behcet's disease. In the U.K., its only recommended uses are for Behcet's disease and hereditary angioedema.Stanozolol works by binding to androgen receptors like membrane bound receptor proteins LAGS and stanozolol-binding protein (STBP) and activating AR-mediated signalling. This in turn leads to synthesis of protein, production of erythropoietin, fat loss, production of haemoglobin, and formation of red blood cells.Stanozolol is commonly used by athletes and bodybuilders alike to lose fat while retaining lean body mass. It is usually used in a cutting cycle, to help preserve lean body mass while metabolizing adipose, although it has not been proven conclusively that it has any special fat-burning properties.
