Fieser and Fieser 1 have recently deduced molecular rotation contributions for the various asymmetric centres in the steroid skeleton. Their values for the contribution of C(17) were obtained ...

They promote growth of skeletal muscle (anabolic effect) and the development of male sexual characteristics (androgenic effects), and also have other effects. (The term "anabolic steroids" will be ...

The use of anabolic steroids has in an animal study been shown to give long-term effects in skeletal muscle, by adding nuclei (DNA) to the muscle fibres and accelerating re-training. This means that ...
