Samish River

The Samish River is approximately 25 miles (40 km) long, in northwestern Washington in the United States. The river drains an area of  between the Skagit River basin on the south and the Nooksack River basin on the north. The Samish River originates on a low divide in Whatcom County, and its tributary, Friday Creek, originates in the hills south of Bellingham. The river continues its southwesterly flow through Skagit County and outlets into Samish Bay in Puget Sound.

The Samish River supports a large variety of fish and is home to one of Washington's larger fall King Salmon runs. The Samish River has runs of five Salmon and three trout species including: Spring/Winter Steelhead, Summer Sockeye, Fall Chinook/Chum/Coho, and year-round runs of Cutthroat, and Dolly Varden.  Also documented are Pink Salmon which, while rare, do arrive in small numbers to spawn in the Samish.

There are two fish hatcheries supporting the Samish River. One located in the upper Samish directly below the mouth of Friday Creek, and another several miles up Friday Creek.  Both hatcheries raise Fall Chinook and can process over 10,000,000 salmon smolt a year, 5-20,000 of those returning 1–5 years later to spawn as adults.

Solvent dye

A solvent dye is a dye soluble in organic solvents. It is usually used as a solution in an organic solvent. 

Solvent dyes are used to color organic solvents, hydrocarbon fuels, waxes, lubricants, plastics, and other hydrocarbon-based nonpolar materials. Fuel dyes are one use of solvent dyes. Their molecules are typically nonpolar or little polar, and they do not undergo ionization. They are insoluble in water. They form a colloidal solution in solvents. They have poor (basic dyes) to good (metal complex based) light fastness. 

Solvent dyes are used for gold imitation (and other transparent metallic effects) of metallized polyester films. Also used in marking inks, inkjet inks, glass coloration, and so on.

Names of solvent dyes are often generic, of the scheme "solvent <color> <number>", e.g. Solvent Red 24, Solvent Red 26, Solvent Red 164, Solvent Yellow 124, Solvent Blue 35, etc.

Red and yellow solvent dyes are often azo dyes, green and blue ones tend to be anthraquinone dyes.

KISF

KISF (103.5 FM, "Zona MX 103.5") is a commercial radio station located in Las Vegas, Nevada.  KISF airs a regional Mexican music format, and is the Las Vegas affiliate for El Bueno, La Mala, Y El Feo in the morning.  Its studios are in Spring Valley and its transmitter is on Black Mountain in Henderson. KISF is owned by Latino Media Network; under a local marketing agreement, the station was programmed by previous owner TelevisaUnivision's Uforia Audio Network until it turned over full operations to the owner in June 2023.

History

Adult contemporary (1989-1992)
KISF signed on as KLTN with an adult contemporary format as "Lite 103.5" in February 1989. In January 1991, the station rebranded as "Magic 103.5" under new call sign KMMK.

Modern rock (1992-1998)
On May 22, 1992, the station changed its call sign to KEDG, and adopted a modern rock music format, branded as "The Edge". The station debuted at #1 in the Las Vegas ratings and was influential in other stations nationwide flipping to the format. In 1996, KEDG gained a direct competitor as KFBI adopted a harder edged modern rock music format under the call sign KXTE.

R&B oldies (1998-1999)
On June 5, 1998, at Noon, KEDG flipped to urban oldies under the call sign KISF, and branded as "Kiss-FM".

Spanish (1999-present) 
In March 1999, Heftel Broadcasting Corporation (which eventually became Univision Radio and then Uforia Audio Network) acquired the frequency, and flipped 103.5 to Regional Mexican as "La Nueva 103.5", becoming the first Spanish FM radio station serving the Las Vegas Hispanic community. On March 24, 2016, KISF rebranded as "Zona MX 103.5".

KISF was one of eighteen radio stations that TelevisaUnivision sold to Latino Media Network in a $60 million deal announced in June 2022, approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that November, and consummated on December 30, 2022. Under the terms of the deal, Univision agreed to continue programming the station for up to one year under a local marketing agreement.

In June 2023, TelevisaUnivision turned over full operations of the three stations to Latino Media Network, making the Las Vegas market the second market from the company to turn over its operations from TelevisaUnivision, with the first one being the McAllen-Brownsville-Harlingen market in the spring of 2023.

Uli Biaho

Uli Biaho (; ) is a mountain within the Gilgit–Baltistan region of Pakistan, near Trango Towers and Baltoro Glacier  It consists of two main peaks: Uli Biaho Tower (measuring approximately 19,957 feet according to Roskelley and 6,109 meters or 20,043 feet according to Kopold), and Uli Biaho Peak (with a height of 6,417 meters as per Kopold's measurements). As of 2006, Uli Biaho Peak remained unclimbed.

Uli Biaho Tower was ascended in an alpine-style approach via the direct East Face route by a team led by John Roskelley and others. On July 3, 1979, all four climbers from the United States successfully reached the summit. John Roskelley later dedicated a chapter to their Uli Biaho climb in his 1993 book titled "Stories Off the Wall."

Notable ascents
 In 1979, the East Face of Uli Biaho Tower (measuring 19,957 feet) was climbed via a challenging route rated at VII F8 A4, comprising 34 pitches. The ascent took place from June 24 to July 5, 1979, and the team consisted of John Roskelley, Kim Schmitz, Ron Kauk, and Bill Forrest.
 In 1988, another ascent of Uli Biaho Tower was achieved via the Pilone Sud route, which involved climbing with a rating of 6b and A3, covering a distance of 800 meters. This ascent occurred from June 19 to 21 in 1988. The team consisted of Maurizio Giordani, Roberto Manfrini, Maurizio Venzo, Kurt Walde.
 In 2006, climbers Gabo Cmarik and Jozef 'Dodo' Kopold from Slovakia ascended the Uli Biaho Tower (20,058 feet or 6109 m) via the Drastissima VI/6 ABO route on the Northwest Face from June 23 to 25.
 In 2013, Matteo Della Bordella, Luca Schiera, and Sihan Schüpbach successfully tackled the Uli Biaho Tower's West Face (6a/6b) with one aid pitch and 18 pitches of free climbing. This feat was accomplished in one day and a half on July 21, 2013.
 In the same year, climbers Denis Veretenin and Evgenii Bashkirtcev conquered the Uli Biaho Tower's East Face using the Russian Roulette route (1,900m 6c+ A2) from August 8 to 14, 2013.

Vanadium(II) oxide

Vanadium(II) oxide is the inorganic compound with the idealized formula VO. It is one of the several binary vanadium oxides. It adopts a distorted NaCl structure and contains weak V−V metal to metal bonds. VO is a semiconductor owing to delocalisation of electrons in the t2g orbitals. VO is a non-stoichiometric compound, its composition varying from VO0.8 to VO1.3.

Diatomic VO is one of the molecules found in the spectrum of relatively cool M-type stars. A potential use of vanadium(II) monoxide is as a molecular vapor in synthetic chemical reagents in low-temperature matrices.

Vanadyl sulfate

Vanadyl(IV) sulfate describes a collection of inorganic compounds of vanadium with the formula, VOSO4(H2O)x where 0 ≤ x ≤ 6. The pentahydrate is common. This hygroscopic blue solid is one of the most common sources of vanadium in the laboratory, reflecting its high stability. It features the vanadyl ion, VO2+, which has been called the "most stable diatomic ion".

Vanadyl sulfate is an intermediate in the extraction of vanadium from petroleum residues, one commercial source of vanadium.

Synthesis, structure, and reactions
Vanadyl sulfate is most commonly obtained by reduction of vanadium pentoxide with sulfur dioxide:
V2O5 +  7 H2O  + SO2  +  H2SO4   →  2 [V(O)(H2O)4]SO4

From aqueous solution, the salt crystallizes as the pentahydrate, the fifth water is not bound to the metal in the solid. Viewed as a coordination complex, the ion is octahedral, with oxo, four equatorial water ligands, and a monodentate sulfate.  The trihydrate has also been examined by crystallography. A hexahydrate exists below . Two polymorphs of anhydrous VOSO4 are known.

The V=O bond distance is 160 pm, about 50 pm shorter than the V–OH2 bonds. In solution, the sulfate ion dissociates rapidly.

Being widely available, vanadyl sulfate is a common precursor to other vanadyl derivatives, such as vanadyl acetylacetonate:

[V(O)(H2O)4]SO4  +  2 C5H8O2  +  Na2CO3 →  [V(O)(C5H7O2)2]  +  Na2SO4  +  5 H2O  + CO2

In acidic solution, oxidation of vanadyl sulfate gives yellow-coloured vanadyl(V) derivatives. Reduction, e.g. by zinc, gives vanadium(III) and vanadium(II) derivatives, which are characteristically green and violet, respectively.

Occurrence in nature
Like most water-soluble sulfates, vanadyl sulfate is only rarely found in nature. Anhydrous form is pauflerite, a mineral of fumarolic origin. Hydrated forms, also rare, include hexahydrate (stanleyite), pentahydrates (minasragrite, orthominasragrite, and anorthominasragrite) and trihydrate - bobjonesite.

Medical research
Vanadyl sulfate is a component of food supplements and experimental drugs. Vanadyl sulfate exhibits insulin-like effects.

Vanadyl sulfate has been extensively studied in the field of diabetes research as a potential means of increasing insulin sensitivity.  No evidence indicates that oral vanadium supplementation improves glycaemic control. Treatment with vanadium often results in gastrointestinal side-effects, primarily diarrhea.

Vanadyl sulfate is also marketed as a health supplement, often for bodybuilding. Deficiencies in vanadium result in reduced growth in rats. Its effectiveness for bodybuilding has not been proven; some evidence suggests that athletes who take it are merely experiencing a placebo effect.

Season of the Tiger

Season of the Tiger is a six-part docudrama that follows members of the Grambling State University (LA) marching band and football team during the 2005-2006 football season.

Produced by Daftfilms and Black Entertainment Television (BET), Season of the Tiger premiered on April 27, 2006 at 9:30 p.m.  The subsequent episodes were shown at the same Thursday time slot for the following five weeks.

In documentary style, the show focuses on the lives of three band members and two football players as they try to fulfill their potential, despite the setbacks they encounter along the way.  Season of the Tiger is the second BET reality show to focus on life at a historically black institution (HBCU) (see College Hill), and the first to highlight the competitive environment of marching bands at some HBCUs.

Grambling State standout starting quarterback and NFL prospect Bruce Eugene is among the many featured in the docudrama.

Sybilla of Normandy

Sybilla of Normandy (c. 1092 – 12 or 13 July 1122) was Queen of Scotland as the wife of Alexander I.

Sybilla was the first child of Henry I of England and his mistress, Lady Sybilla Corbet of Alcester (b. 1077 in Alcester, Warwickshire, d. after 1157). Her maternal grandfather was Robert Corbet of Alcester, part of the Corbet family. She was born circa 1092 in Domfront, Normandy.

Around 1107, Sybilla married Alexander I, King of Scots. The marriage was childless. The marriage ceremony may have occurred as early as 1107, or as at late as 1114.

William of Malmesbury's account attacks Sybilla, but the evidence argues that Alexander and Sybilla were a devoted but childless couple and Sybilla was of noteworthy piety. Sybilla died in unrecorded circumstances at Eilean nam Ban (Kenmore on Loch Tay) in July 1122 and was buried at Dunfermline Abbey. Alexander did not remarry and Walter Bower wrote that he planned an Augustinian Priory at the Eilean nam Ban dedicated to Sybilla's memory, and he may have taken steps to have her venerated.

28th Armoured Brigade (United Kingdom)

The 28th Armoured Brigade was an armoured brigade formation of the British Army, raised during the Second World War.

History

In 1939, it started off as the 2nd Armoured Reconnaissance Brigade. After the Dunkirk evacuation, with the lack of Armoured vehicles, it was converted into the 3rd Motor Machine Gun Brigade on 1 December 1940. As more equipment became available, it was eventually converted into the 28th Armoured Brigade and served in the United Kingdom throughout the war, under the command of the 9th Armoured Division. It was disbanded on 21 August 1944, without having seen active service as a unit.  However, its constituent Armoured Regiments would see service in the Northwest Europe Campaign, replacing units disbanded by heavy losses.

Sir Osmond Esmonde, 12th Baronet

Sir Osmond Thomas Grattan Esmonde, 12th Baronet (4 April 1896 – 22 July 1936) was an Irish diplomat and Cumann na nGaedheal (and later Fine Gael) politician.

He was born in Ballynastragh, Gorey, County Wexford in 1896, the eldest son of Sir Thomas Esmonde. He was educated at Mount St Benedict School in Gorey; and the Downside School. He attended Balliol College, Oxford and University College Dublin, though he did not graduate from either.

After the 1916 Easter Rising, he joined Sinn Féin and campaigned at the 1918 general election for Roger Sweetman in Wexford North, even though his father was the sitting MP and Irish Parliamentary Party candidate.

Esmonde was first elected to the 4th Dáil at the 1923 general election as Cumann na nGaedheal Teachta Dála (TD) for the Wexford constituency. He did not contest the June 1927 general election, but was returned to the 6th Dáil in the September 1927 general election. He was re-elected at the 1932 general election, and again at the 1933 general election.

After his death aged 40 on 22 July 1936, the consequent by-election for his seat in Dáil Éireann was held on 17 August, and won by the Fianna Fáil candidate Denis Allen.

He never married and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his uncle Laurence Esmonde.

Charles Radoff

Xavier Basil Radoff (1894–1986) was a Russian painter.

Xavier Basil Radoff (Charles Radoff) was born on March 15, 1894, in Izmail, Bessarabia, Russia (present-day Ukraine).  Born to Basil Radoff and Marta Eudokia-Radoff.  He was the second son and had three sisters. His family was poor and all the family finances went toward the eldest son’s education. His father died when he was very young.  His mother remarried but he was never close with his stepfather.

The area he grew up in was diverse in its peoples and cultures.  Radoff attained a second grade education only. He then had to start working to help support the family. He was raised in the Russian Orthodox Church.

At the age of 18, Radoff emigrated to the United States arriving at Ellis Island on December 5, 1912. After settling, Radoff chose the Anglicized name "Charles", which he used the rest of his life.

Radoff lived in New York City working any job he could find. He eventually found employment at a posh club for the rich as a member of the wait staff.  Here he was taught tennis and learned to play rather well.  He would sketch in pencil some of the sights in New York.  These drawings are lost.

Radoff served in the United States Army Cavalry during World War I.  The U.S. Army Air Service#Air Service of the AEF became aware of Radoff’s skills as an artist.  His duties included serving as an aerial observer with the Air Corps.  While airborne, he would hand draw maps of enemy positions for use in planning by the command staff.

Radoff loved France and would revisit in 1921 where he met and later married Camille Alice Richard.  The couple stayed in France as shop owners until 1932.  The Radoff’s emigrated to the United States for fear of increasing tensions in Europe.  They toured the entire US eventually settling in Los Angeles.  Their only child, Vivian Renee Toensing (nee Radoff), was born in Los Angeles in 1933 and died in Valencia California in 2013.

Radoff continually dabbled with sketching over the years.  He didn’t take it up as a vocation until the late 1950s.  He was living in Southern California and opened an Art Gallery in the San Fernando Valley.  He had galleries in Van Nuys, Corona del Mar and Reseda. He may have shown his work at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach in the mid-1960s.

Radoff mostly painted seascapes and florals.  He tried some neo-impressionist styles also.
He was an admirer of Marc Chagall’s work.

Radoff continued to paint until he had a stroke in 1985. He died a year later in 1986.

Chew Reservoir

Chew Reservoir is a reservoir at the head of the Chew Valley in the Peak District National Park in Greater Manchester, England.

The reservoir scheme in the Greenfield and Chew Valleys by the Ashton Stalybridge and Dukinfield Waterworks Joint Committee commenced in 1870. Chew Reservoir was built to hold 200 million gallons of water. Intended to be a compensation reservoir, it also had a filtration plant so that it could be used for drinking water in times of drought.
Completed in 1912, the reservoir was the highest constructed in England, at  above sea level, until the Cow Green Reservoir in the North Pennines in Teesside was completed in 1971. The reservoir is connected to the larger Dovestone Reservoir further down the Chew Valley by the Chew Brook.

Llanilar

Llanilar is a village and community in Ceredigion, Wales, about  southeast of Aberystwyth. It is the eponym of the hundred of Ilar. The population at the 2011 census was 1,085. The community includes Rhos-y-garth.

Name
In Welsh placenames, many smaller communities are named for their parish (llan), having grown up around the local church. This town's name honours its patron saint, although it is disputed whether that is the church's presumed founder Ilar (Welsh for "Hilary"), listed as a member of Cadfan's mission and a martyr but now almost totally forgotten, or the more famous Hilary who was bishop of Poitiers in France and is still celebrated by the Anglican and Catholic churches in Wales. (The confusion is not helped by Edward Williams's numerous forgeries which he included in the Iolo Manuscripts.)

History and amenities 
There is a Roman site just to the east. The present village was built along the southern side of the scenic River Ystwyth and contains a parish church, Nonconformist chapel, primary school, GP Surgery, and garage. The village post office is now closed but a mobile van visits several times during the week.

St Hilary's Church () has a large square tower, chancel, nave, and porch. In the porch is a hollowed stone for holding holy water and, above the door, there is an ancient beam with carved heads and animals inscribed with the words J.S. W.W.A. Church Wardens, 1683.  Under the name "Church of St Ilar", it is a grade II* listed building.

Llanilar railway station on the line from Carmarthen to Aberystwyth opened in 1867 and closed in 1964 following severe flooding in the Llanilar area.

Notable people
Saint Ilar (6th C. AD), a putative Breton missionary and martyr

Shirley Griffith

Shirley  Griffith (April 26, 1907 – June 18, 1974) was an American male blues singer and guitarist, mainly based in Indianapolis. He is best known for his recordings "Walkin' Blues" and "Bad Luck Blues".

Early life
Griffith was born in Brandon, Mississippi, the second child of Willie and Maggie Griffith. He had five sisters and three brothers. He learned to play the guitar at the age of 10.

Music career
In the 1920s, his friend and mentor Tommy Johnson gave him further guitar instruction, and offered to help him get started in a music career, but, by Griffith's own account, he was too “wild and reckless” in those days.

He settled in Indianapolis, where he lived for the rest of his life, working in automotive factories. While there he became friends with Scrapper Blackwell and Leroy Carr. In 1935, Carr offered to take Griffith to New York for a recording session, but Carr died suddenly, and the trip was never made.

Griffith re-emerged as a musician in the 1960s to record with J. T. Adams, and play at festivals with Yank Rachell. He performed at the first Ann Arbor Blues Festival in 1969 and at the Notre Dame Blues Festival in 1971.

Recordings
Art Rosenbaum, who produced Griffith’s Bluesville albums, wrote in the liner notes to Saturday Blues:

“I recall one August afternoon shortly after these recordings were made; Shirley sat in Scrapper Blackwell’s furnished room singing the Bye Bye Blues with such intensity that everyone present was deeply moved, though they had all heard him sing it many times before. Scrapper was playing, too, and the little room swelled with sound. When they finished there was a moment of awkward silence. Finally Shirley smiled and said, ‘The blues’ll kill you. And make you live, too.’"

Personal life
Griffith had four children: Elonza Griffith, Walter James Griffith, Freddie M. Proctor and Mary T. Griffith. His first wife was Addie B. McNeil, His second wife was Elizabeth.

He died of heart disease in Indianapolis, at the age of 67.

Mighty (The Planet Smashers album)

Mighty is an album by the Planet Smashers. It was the first of five albums featuring drummer Scott Russell, and it is the only Planet Smashers album featuring trombonist J.O. Begin. 

Neville Staple, of the Specials, appears on the album. It was recorded in Montreal over a period of two months.

Critical reception
Exclaim! wrote that the Planet Smashers "break out some new tricks in the latter half of the album, with songs like 'Can't Stop', a folky harmonica-infused song, and 'Recollect', which slows the pace down a notch."

11th Armoured Brigade (United Kingdom)

The 11th Armoured Brigade was an armoured brigade of the British Army raised during the Second World War. The brigade was a 1st Line Territorial Army formation, consisting of three infantry battalions converted into armoured regiments.

History
The 11th Armoured Brigade was formed from the redesignation of the 126th Infantry Brigade, part of 42nd (East Lancashire) Infantry Division, on 1 November 1941. During this time, the brigade formed part of the 42nd Armoured Division. On 25 July 1942, the brigade was converted from an armoured role (equipped with cruiser tanks) into an infantry support role (equipped with infantry tanks). As part of this conversion, the brigade was re-designated the 11th Tank Brigade. During most of 1943, the brigade was attached to the 77th Infantry (Reserve) Division as a training formation. On 23 November, the brigade was disbanded and its regiments were broken up.

Order of battle
Subordinate units included:
 107th Regiment Royal Armoured Corps (previously 5th Battalion, King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster))
 110th Regiment Royal Armoured Corps (previously 5th Battalion, Border Regiment)
 111th Regiment Royal Armoured Corps (previously 5th Battalion, Manchester Regiment)
 1st Battalion, Highland Light Infantry

Commanders
 Brigadier H.L. Birks (from 1 November 1941 until 25 July 1942)
 Colonel R.A. France (Acting, from 26 October 1942 until 2 November 1942)
 Brigadier H.C.J. Yeo (from 2 November 1942 until 1 June 1943)
 Brigadier J.G.R. Runciman (from 1 June 1943)

Postwar
The brigade was one of two "square brigades" assigned to 1st Armoured Division when this was formed in 1976. It was converted into "Task Force Bravo", and ceased to exist in 1977. ("Task Force Bravo" became 22nd Armoured Brigade four years later.) The brigade was reinstated by converting "Task Force Golf" into an armoured brigade in 1981, assigned to 4th Armoured Division and was based at Kingsley Barracks in Minden. It disbanded in 1993.

Wyn Davies

Ronald Wyn Davies (born 20 March 1942) is a Welsh former professional footballer who made over 550 Football League appearances in the 1960s and 1970s, and who was also capped by Wales.

Domestic career
Although he began his career with Wrexham, followed by a successful few seasons for Bolton Wanderers, Davies (nicknamed Wyn the Leap) is perhaps best known for playing for Newcastle United between 1966 and 1971. He was notably part of their Inter-Cities Fairs Cup-winning team of 1969. He later played for Manchester City, signing prior to the 1971–72 season for £60,000, playing as City won the 1972 FA Charity Shield. He then moved from Maine Road to Old Trafford when he was signed by Manchester United manager, Frank O'Farrell on 14 September 1972. He was partnered with another O'Farrell signing, Ted MacDougall. Davies made his league debut for United on 23 September 1972 against champions Derby County at Old Trafford. He scored the opening goal for United in a 3–0 win.

Blackpool signed Davies for £14,000 on 14 June 1973, and he made his debut for the club on 25 August in a 2–2 draw against West Bromwich Albion, the opening League game of the season.

On 30 June 1975, Blackpool granted him a free transfer and he joined Stockport County. He also played for Crewe Alexandra before finishing his career with Bangor City.

International career
In total, Davies earned 34 caps and scored six goals for Wales. His last appearance came against Poland in Katowice on 26 September 1973.

Jhunka

Jhunka or Zunka is a gram flour porridge or a gram flour curry, similar to polenta. It is a traditional Indian dish prepared in Maharashtra, North Karnataka, and Goa. It is also known by the name of pithla or pithle.  The dish is also referred to as jhunka bhakar or pithla bhakri. Pithle is also known as chun in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra.

Jhunka with bhakar is considered quintessential peasant fare of Maharashtra. It is accompanied by kharda or thecha. In recent times, pithla bhakri has become inseparable part of treks to mountain forts such as Sinhagad.

Zunka/pithla is considered a nutritious food because of its balanced content of fiber, protein, carbohydrates and potassium.

Preparation 
Jhunka is made by mixing gram flour (besan) with water to form a semi-solid paste. It is then sauteed in oil with any other assorted ingredients like green chillies, red chilly powder, turmeric, salt, fried onions, mustard seeds, ginger-garlic, cumin seeds, coriander leaves. ,  Jhunka is traditionally served with Bhakri and is also eaten with roti or rice.

Political significance 
In 1995, the Shiv Sena Bharatiya Janata Party government launched the Zhunka-Bhaakar scheme in Maharashtra. The scheme was intended to address the state's socioeconomic crisis by allocating over 6000 stalls to the unemployed. The plan was not successful because the stalls were not able to provide the zunka-bhakar at the subsidized price of one rupee, so they began selling other foods instead. In 2000, the Congress-NCP government ended the scheme and the Supreme Court upheld this decision.

4-Androstene-3,6,17-trione

4-Androstene-3,6,17-trione (4-AT; also marketed as 6-OXO or 4-etioallocholen-3,6,17-trione) is a drug or nutritional supplement that may increase the testosterone-estrogen ratio, but has no proven effect on body composition. Its use can be detected in urine.

4-AT is a potent irreversible aromatase inhibitor that inhibits estrogen biosynthesis by permanently binding and inactivating aromatase in adipose and peripheral tissue. Aromatase is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to estradiol. Blocking aromatase causes the body to decrease in levels of estradiol, which then results in increase of LH and consequently, testosterone. Since testosterone has myotropic activity and estradiol does not, elevated testosterone levels increase muscle mass. However, there appear to be no human or animal studies testing the hypothesis that 4-AT will produce an anabolic effect.

4-AT is used by steroid or prohormone users to counteract estrogen level increases caused by aromatization during their steroid cycle. This helps minimize side effects such as gynecomastia but can lead to acne. Also, after a steroid cycle, the compound may be used to shorten the recovery from the testicular suppression that can be the result of the use of steroids.

Baylor University conducted an eight-week study to determine the effects of 300 mg or 600 mg of 4-AT in resistance-trained males. Compared to baseline, free testosterone increased by 90% for 300 mg group and 84% for 600 mg group, respectively. Also dihydrotestosterone and the ratio of free testosterone to estradiol increased significantly. The report concluded that "[t]he results of this study indicate that eight weeks of 6-OXO supplementation had no effect on body composition or clinical safety markers, but incompletely inhibited aromatase activity and significantly increased endogenous DHT levels that were attenuated after a three-week washout period". This study did not utilize a control group and was funded in part by two producers of commercial 4-AT.

In a FDA Warning Letter dated July 7, 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) argues that marketing of 4-AT violates the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and as such products containing it are adulterated by legal definition.

In 2008, Health Canada issued a warning that 4-AT had a health risk related to blood clotting and recommended all users immediately cease use.
