Abstract:
The effects of nandrolone phenylpropionate and decanoate, androstanolone and testosterone propionate, in daily doses from 3 to 100 micrograms during a month, on the diffuse hair wave seen after gonadectomy, were studied in male C 57 mice. The androgenic effects upon anterior prostate weight and the anabolic effects upon levator ani muscle and submaxillary gland weight, were also evaluated. The four steroid compounds used in these experiments had a strong inhibitory effect upon the hair growth waves which was stronger in the anabolic steroids than with testosterone propionate.
