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.
