[Dynamic distribution of methandrostenolone in the body of white rats]

Dynamics of distribution of anabolic steroidal hormone methandrostenolone and routes of its elimination from the organism of Wistar rats were studied by using methods of radioisotopes and high-performance liquid chromatography. Methandrostenolone metabolites were shown to be excreted mainly in the urine. Methandrostenolone metabolism is a complicated process in the course of which redistribution of metabolites among various organs occurs. The anabolic effect of methandrostenolone is supposed to be due to the formation of its metabolites.
