research Anabolic effects of testosterone are preserved during inhibition of 5α-reductase
Testosterone can build muscle and bone without enlarging the prostate when a specific enzyme is blocked.
![Activity of 17β-(N-Alkyl/Arylformamido) and 17β-[(N-Alkyl/Aryl) Alkyl/Arylamido]-4-Methyl-4-Aza-5α-Androstan-3-Ones as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors in the Hamster Flank Organ and Ear](/images/research/861159f1-7bd4-420c-a16b-4829458efe68/small/15592.jpg)
research Activity of 17β-(N-Alkyl/arylformamido) and 17β-[(N-Alkyl/aryl) alkyl/arylamido]-4-methyl-4-aza-5α-androstan-3-ones as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors in the Hamster Flank Organ and Ear11The research has been supported by Endorecherche that is seeking patent protection for the new compounds.
