Abstract
The influence of methandrostenolone (= Dianabol® = 17-bet3-hydroxy-17-methylandrosta-1,4-dien-3-one) and of a running training program on the degradation rate of myofibrillar proteins of the heart, soleus, red portion of the vastus lateralis, and white portion of the vastus lateralis of female guinea pigs was studied by measuring the time-dependent decrease of radioactive-labeled proteins. The following results were obtained:
