Abstract
Two representative anabolicsteroids caused an increase in the uptake of α-aminoisobutyric acid-1-C14 in the levator ani muscle of rats. The distribution ratio between that muscle and the plasma was increased fourfold by the administration of a synthetic anabolic steroid and twofold by administration of testosterone propionate. The determination of this increase may serve as an indicator for the myotrophic effect of anabolic steroids.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
