Nandrolone propionate
Nandrolone propionate is a synthetic anabolic steroid that is derived from testosterone. It is used in the treatment of a variety of medical conditions, including anemia, osteoporosis, and certain forms of neoplasia including breast cancer, and also acts as a progestin-based contraceptive.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Nandrolone propionate has been shown to influence calcium metabolism and to increase bone mass in osteoporosis. The androgen receptor binding affinity of nandrolone propionate is much lower than that of testosterone, while at the same time its tissue-building activity is much higher than that of testosterone.
Side effects[edit | edit source]
The side effects of nandrolone propionate are similar to those of other anabolic steroids. These may include acne, edema, weight gain, insomnia, jaundice, and gynecomastia. In addition, nandrolone propionate can lead to a decrease in libido and erectile dysfunction.
