title: Influence of Anabolic Steroids on Uptake of Alpha-Aminoisobutyric Acid by Levator Ani Muscle.
abstract: Two representative anabolicsteroids caused an increase in the uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid-1-C(14) 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.
