'''Nandrolone Laurate''' is an [[anabolic steroid]] that is used in veterinary medicine, specifically in dogs and cats. It is a long-acting ester of [[nandrolone]], a naturally occurring steroid hormone in the body.
{{DISPLAYTITLE:Nandrolone laurate}}


==Pharmacology==
== Nandrolone laurate ==
Nandrolone laurate is a synthetic derivative of [[testosterone]], the primary male sex hormone. It has anabolic effects, which means it promotes the growth of muscle tissue. The laurate ester extends the release of nandrolone from the site of injection, making it effective for up to a month.

Nandrolone laurate is an [[anabolic steroid]] and a [[nandrolone]] [[ester]]. It is used in the treatment of [[anemia]] and [[osteoporosis]], and it is also used to promote [[weight gain]] in certain cases. Nandrolone laurate is administered via [[intramuscular injection]].


==Uses==
== Pharmacology ==
In veterinary medicine, nandrolone laurate is used to improve weight gain and physical condition in animals recovering from serious illness or surgery. It may also be used to treat certain forms of anemia and to enhance the performance of racing animals.
Nandrolone laurate is a [[prodrug]] of nandrolone, meaning it is converted into nandrolone in the body. It has a long [[half-life]] due to the laurate ester, which allows for less frequent dosing compared to other nandrolone esters. The drug works by increasing the production of [[red blood cells]] and enhancing [[protein synthesis]], which leads to increased muscle mass and strength.


==Side Effects==
== Medical uses ==
Potential side effects of nandrolone laurate include virilization (development of male characteristics) in female animals, and testicular atrophy and reduced fertility in male animals. Long-term use can lead to liver damage and cardiovascular disease.
Nandrolone laurate is primarily used in the treatment of:
* [[Anemia]] associated with [[chronic kidney disease]]
* [[Osteoporosis]]
* [[Cachexia]] in patients with chronic illnesses


==Legal Status==
== Side effects ==
In many countries, the use of nandrolone laurate and other anabolic steroids is controlled by law due to their potential for abuse and the health risks they pose. In the United States, nandrolone laurate is classified as a Schedule III controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
Common side effects of nandrolone laurate include:
* [[Acne]]
* [[Fluid retention]]
* [[Gynecomastia]]
* [[Increased hair growth]]
* [[Voice deepening]] in women


==See Also==
== Mechanism of action ==
Nandrolone laurate acts by binding to the [[androgen receptor]], which leads to increased [[gene expression]] and [[protein synthesis]]. This results in the growth of muscle tissue and increased [[bone density]].
