Volume 27, Number 1, January/February 1999 John M. Beiner, MD, Peter Jokl, MD, Jacek Cholewicki, PhD, and Manohar M. Panjabi, DrTech, PhD From Yale University School of Medicine, Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, New Haven, Connecticut �MDNM�The effect of an anabolic steroid (nandrolone decanoate, 20 mg/kg) and a corticosteroid (methylprednisolone acetate, 25 mg/kg) on healing muscle injured with a drop-mass technique in a reproducible muscle contusion injury model in the rat was studied. Healing was determined by measuring active contractile tension in each muscle and histologic analysis. At day 2, the corticosteroid group showed significant improvement in both twitch and tetanic strength relative to the controls. At day 7, this effect was reversed and the corticosteroid muscles were significantly weaker than the control muscles, but there was still no significant effect seen in the anabolic steroid group. At day 14, the corticosteroid muscles were totally degenerated, with disorganized muscle fiber architecture. The anabolic steroid muscles were significantly stronger in twitch, and a similar trend was seen in tetanus relative to control muscles. The results indicate that in an animal model corticosteroids may be beneficial in the short term, but they cause irreversible damage to healing muscle in the long term, including disordered fiber structure and a marked diminution in force-generating capacity. Anabolic steroids may aid in the healing of muscle contusion injury to speed the recovery of force-generating capacity. Although anabolic steroids are considered renegade drugs, they may have an ethical clinical application to aid healing in severe muscle contusion injury, and their use in the treatment of muscle injuries warrants further research. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I broke the Medial Plateau in my right knee this summer playing pickup hoops(dunking on some fool...;-) My orthopede told me I'd be out for 4-6 months for sure. No hoops for at least half a year. Well I went on low dose Nandrolone(250mgs per week)for 8 weeks and the knee completely healed. My doctor said in all his years of watching injuries heal(he has been in the profession for 28 years)he never saw one like mine heal so quickly. He told he must have misdiagnosed. No way as I was in severe pain for about 10 days. The power of "de juice"..... It is sad the stuff isn't studied more often in similar case situations. TD ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Beautiful to see some actual studies backing up what we as athletes have known all along.For joint pain alleviation,Deca is second to none-period. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
