Nandrolone furylpropionate
Nandrolone furylpropionate
Nandrolone furylpropionate (pronunciation: nan-DROH-lone FYOO-ril-PROH-pi-oh-nate) is a synthetic, injectable anabolic steroid that is used for the treatment of various medical conditions. It is a derivative of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone.
Etymology
The term "Nandrolone furylpropionate" is derived from its chemical structure. "Nandrolone" is a modification of testosterone, where the 19th carbon atom is removed (hence the alternative name, 19-nortestosterone). "Furylpropionate" refers to the furyl propionate ester that is attached to the nandrolone molecule, which affects its release rate and duration of action in the body.
Usage
Nandrolone furylpropionate is used in medicine for its anabolic effects, which include promoting the growth of muscle mass and strength, and stimulating appetite and bone growth. It is used in the treatment of conditions such as anemia, osteoporosis, and cachexia associated with chronic diseases like cancer and HIV/AIDS.
