Nibrozetone is a synthetic anabolic steroid (AAS) that was developed for use in veterinary medicine. It is known for its potent anabolic effects and is structurally related to other anabolic steroids such as nandrolone and trenbolone.
Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
Nibrozetone is characterized by its unique chemical structure, which includes a 17α-methyl group and a 4,9,11-trien-3-one configuration. This structure is responsible for its anabolic properties and its ability to resist metabolic breakdown in the body.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Nibrozetone functions by binding to androgen receptors in the body, which leads to an increase in protein synthesis and muscle growth. Its anabolic effects are significantly stronger than its androgenic effects, making it a popular choice for promoting muscle mass in livestock.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Originally developed for veterinary use, Nibrozetone is used to promote growth in cattle and other livestock. Its use in humans is not approved due to potential side effects and ethical concerns regarding its performance-enhancing capabilities.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
As with other anabolic steroids, the use of Nibrozetone can lead to a range of side effects. These may include liver damage, hormonal imbalances, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. In animals, careful dosing is required to avoid adverse effects.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The use of Nibrozetone in sports is banned by most major sporting organizations due to its performance-enhancing effects. It is classified as a controlled substance in many countries, and its use is restricted to veterinary applications.
Related Compounds[edit | edit source]
Nibrozetone is related to several other anabolic steroids, including:
