Nandrolone – mystery and facts

چکیده
Nandrolone, or 19-Nortestosterone, is one of the most widely used synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroids by athletes who need power and muscle strength. It is derived from testosterone, the main sex hormone produced in man. A small chemical modification makes nandrolone more anabolic than androgenic and accounts for its widespread misuse in sport. Testosterone has an anabolic:androgenic ratio of 1 whereas for nandrolone it is 10, revealing its powerful anabolic properties.

متن کاملDecreased Uncoupling Protein 2 and 3 (UCP2 and UCP3) mRNA expression by endurance exercise training with and without chronic administration of nandrolone in rat heart
Introduction: The effect of regular exercise in decreasing the incidence of heart diseases is well known. The abuse of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) has been associated with cardiovascular disorders. Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) transport protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane thereby proton gradient can be diminished by the action of UCPs. This process will result in the uncoupl...

Introduction: Anabolic – androgenic steroids (AAS) are used at high doses by athletes for improving athletic ability, muscle mass and physical appearance. Unfortunately, the abuse of these agents has been significantly increased. It has been established that exercise and high doses of AAS may influence the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, which can in turn affect testicular apoptosis and m...
