Abstract
Summary
Myotrophic and androgenic activities of androstanazole have been evaluated using immature castrated male rats. The data indicate that androstanazole is 1/7 as myotrophic and 1/33 as androgenic as testosterone propionate when both agents are administered subcutaneously, whereas it is 2 times more myotrophic than. and 1/3 as androgenic as, methyltestosterone when the 2 agents are given orally. The data show that androstanazole is relatively more anabolic than androgenic regardless of route of administration. The results are discussed in light of nitrogen retention data previously reported for this compound.
