Nandrolone acetate

Nandrolone acetate, also known as 19-nortestosterone 17β-acetate or as estr-4-en-17β-ol-3-one 17β-acetate, is a synthetic, injected anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) and a derivative of 19-nortestosterone (nandrolone) that was never marketed.[1][2][3] It is an androgen ester – specifically, the C17β acetate ester of nandrolone.[1][2]
