Nandrolone finasteride combination increases androgenic side effects, not more effective
Chemical athletes who want to increase the effectiveness of nandrolone decanoate by adding finasteride [structural formula shown below] will be disappointed. A Population Council study shows that the combination raises the androgenic side effects of nandrolone but won???t give you a single gram more muscle mass.
The Council researchers were particularly interested in a nandrolone analogue that was invented in the sixties: the anabolic steroid 7alpha-methylnandrolone [structural formula shown below]. The methyl group of this steroid is not on the C17alpha [as it is in dianabol] but on the C7alpha. Its full name is 7alpha-methyl-19-nor-testosterone, or MENT for short.
A lot of research was done in the late nineties on the male contraceptive properties of MENT. The reason for this was that low doses of MENT inhibit the production of FSH and LH. The study we refer to here was part of the MENT project. It was a piece of fundamental research in which the scientists compared MENT with testosterone, nandrolone and methyl testosterone.
In rats, the ratio between the undesirable androgenic and desirable anabolic properties of MENT was better than that ratio in testosterone but less good than the ratio in nandrolone.
