Nandrolone steroid
Nandrolone. Computer model of part of a molecule of the anabolic steroid drug nandrolone (formula C18H26O2). Nandrolone is used to help build muscle and bone, and has been used to treat osteoporosis (brittle bones) in post-menopausal women. It has also been illegally abused by athletes as it increases strength and stamina. Overuse may cause liver damage. It may also cause virilization in women and infertility in men

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of a segment of the Nandrolone steroid molecule, with its round shape and circular structure beautifully depicted. Nandrolone is an anabolic steroid renowned for its ability to enhance muscle and bone development, making it a valuable tool in treating osteoporosis among post-menopausal women. However, this potent drug has unfortunately been abused by athletes seeking increased strength and stamina, despite being banned from professional sports. The chemical composition of Nandrolone (C18H26O2) is meticulously illustrated in this artwork, shedding light on its biochemistry and pharmaceutical properties. While it can yield remarkable results when used responsibly under medical supervision, overuse or illegal consumption may lead to severe consequences such as liver damage. Moreover, the effects of Nandrolone extend beyond physical changes; they can also impact individuals' reproductive health. Women who misuse this substance may experience virilization - the development of masculine characteristics - while men might face infertility issues. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that scientific advancements like these have both positive applications in medicine and potential for misuse. It prompts us to reflect on the ethical considerations surrounding performance-enhancing substances within sports and highlights the importance of responsible use within healthcare settings.
