Preferred Label : Nandrolone Decanoate;
NCIt synonyms : Deca-Durabolin;
NCIt definition : The decanoate salt form of nandrolone, an anabolic steroid analog of testosterone
with androgenic, anabolic, and erythropoietin stimulating effects. Nandrolone enters
the cell and binds to and activates specific nuclear androgen receptors in responsive
tissue, including the prostate, seminal vesicles, scrotum, penis, larynx, hair follicles,
muscle, and bone. The resulting activated hormone receptor complex translocates into
the nucleus and binds to androgen response elements (ARE) in the promoter region of
targeted genes, where the complex promotes gene expression necessary for maintaining
male sex characteristics. Mimicking the negative feedback mechanism of testosterone,
nandrolone decanoate also suppresses the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH). Furthermore,
this agent also stimulates erythropoietin production by enhancing the production of
erythropoietic stimulating factors.;
