Effects of Nandrolone Decanoate on Spermatogenesis in Wistar Rats With and Without Physical Training

Androgenic anabolic steroids (AAS) are artificial testosterone analogues, used as medicine in chronic diseases, because they increase protein synthesis generating muscle hypertrophy. Its effect has caught the attention of athletes and gym users, thus their consumption has become epidemic, due to eas...
