title: Nandrolone decanoate enhances the activities of cholanthrene induced glutathione-s-transferase in liver tissue of albino mice.
abstract: A concrete study is still fragmentary to correlate the effect of Nandrolone decanoate, a anabolic steroid, on the cholanthrene induced Glutathione-s-transferases (GST) activities in liver tissues. Administration of Nandrolone and 3-Methylcholanthrene in alone and combination is found to increase the activity of hepatic GST activity significantly (p< 0.01) suggesting Nandrolone as a potent inducer of GST activity.
