Nandrolone steroid molecule

Nandrolone. Computer model of a molecule of the anabolic steroid drug nandrolone (formula C18H26O2). Atoms are colour-coded: carbon (green), oxygen (red) and hydrogen (gold). 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 of nandrolone may cause liver damage. It may also cause virilisation (development of masculine characteristics) in women and infertility in men

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the Nandrolone steroid molecule, an anabolic drug widely recognized for its role in muscle and bone development. The molecular structure is beautifully depicted with color-coded atoms; carbon appears in vibrant green, oxygen in striking red, and hydrogen in shimmering gold. Nandrolone has proven to be a valuable asset in medical treatments such as osteoporosis among post-menopausal women due to its ability to strengthen bones. However, it has unfortunately become subject to illegal abuse by athletes seeking enhanced strength and stamina. This illicit usage stems from the compound's remarkable capacity to boost athletic performance. While excessive use of Nandrolone may yield detrimental consequences like liver damage, it also presents gender-specific risks. Women who misuse this substance may experience virilization - the development of masculine characteristics - while men may face infertility issues. The image serves as a reminder that pharmaceutical advancements can have both positive and negative implications on society. It highlights the intricate nature of biochemistry within our bodies while shedding light on the controversial aspects surrounding banned substances used for bodybuilding or sports enhancement purposes. Science Photo Library brings forth this visually stunning artwork without any commercial intent but rather aims to educate viewers about the chemical composition and potential effects associated with Nandrolone through their exceptional scientific imagery collection.
