How Nandrolone Decanoate Affects Patients
Nandrolone decanoate is a type of steroid used to treat anemia caused by kidney problems and to help with bone loss in older adults or postmenopausal women. It is usually taken every 3-4 weeks and, when taken correctly, rarely results in an overdose. People with heart, kidney, or liver issues should be warned of potential risks before taking this drug.
How Nandrolone Decanoate works in the body
Nandrolone decanoate is broken down into nandrolone in the body. It then binds to cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis and interacts with the androgen receptor. This interaction causes the androgen receptor to enter the nucleus and activate various signals that regulate the transcription of DNA. Androgens can also interact with transcription factors, which can help regulate cell activity.
