Oxandrolone is an anabolic steriod used to decreased muscle

Oxandrolone is an anabolic steriod used to decreased muscle protein catabolism and maintain lean body mass. Dietay/nutrition intervention includes:

A.) Adequate calorie/protein intake for an anabolic effect

B.)Possibly a lower sodium diet

C.)Increased appetite, increased weight

D.)All of the above

Solution

Oxandrolone is anabolic steroids which refer to the class of drugs produced by modification of testosterone. These drugs were developed in order to take clinical advantage of the anabolic effects of testosterone while decreasing the androgenic side effect of the naturally occurring molecule. Modifications were made in the steroid ring because of the short half-life of testosterone and its masculinizing properties. Changes increased its half-life and decreased its androgenic properties. The mechanisms of action of testosterone analogs are also through activation of the androgenic receptors found in highest concentration in myocytes and skin fibroblasts.

Its anabolic activity is approximately 10 times that of testosterone and its androgenic activity is one tenth that of testosterone.

SO a)Adequate calorie/protein intake for an anabolic effect
