Anabolic steroid


Overview[edit]

Chemical structure of Norethandrolone, a related compound

Ethylestrenol is an anabolic steroid that is derived from nandrolone. It is known for its ability to promote muscle growth and increase strength. Ethylestrenol is a synthetic derivative of the naturally occurring hormone testosterone.

Chemical Structure[edit]

Ethylestrenol is chemically related to norethandrolone, as shown in the image to the right. It is a 19-nortestosterone derivative, which means it lacks a carbon atom at the 19th position compared to testosterone. This modification is responsible for its anabolic properties.

Pharmacology[edit]

Ethylestrenol exhibits strong anabolic effects with relatively low androgenic effects. This makes it a popular choice for athletes and bodybuilders looking to enhance performance without the pronounced side effects associated with more androgenic steroids. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted primarily through the kidneys.

Medical Uses[edit]

Ethylestrenol has been used in the treatment of conditions such as muscle wasting and osteoporosis. It helps in promoting weight gain and increasing muscle mass in patients who have experienced severe weight loss due to chronic illness or surgery.

Side Effects[edit]

Like other anabolic steroids, ethylestrenol can cause a range of side effects. These may include liver damage, cardiovascular issues, and hormonal imbalances. Long-term use can lead to testicular atrophy and infertility in men, as well as virilization in women.

Legal Status[edit]

The use of ethylestrenol is regulated in many countries due to its potential for abuse in sports. It is classified as a controlled substance in the United States and many other countries, meaning it is illegal to use without a prescription.

Related Compounds[edit]

Ethylestrenol is closely related to other anabolic steroids such as nandrolone and norethandrolone. These compounds share similar anabolic properties but differ in their specific chemical structures and side effect profiles.
