Ephedrine: Anti Catabolic?

In MikeKatz's thread about his dbol PCT, it was mentioned by someone that Ephedrine is anti-catabolic.  I was under the impression from the articles/posts on T-Nation that ephedrine had no special properties with respect to the preservation of lean muscle mass?  I'd be very happy to learn otherwise, as a bottle of ephedrine is 3-7 dollars, and HOT-ROX rox is 89 =p (In canada)

P.S. I searched using both the search function, and google with a site restrict, nada.

Ephedrine may be anticatabolic during a calorie restriced diet, but you’re right in that it has no such effect when we’re fed.

Good call.
