Additional information

There are no specific ADME and toxicokinetic studies with nandrolone available. However some data are cited in HSDB database (Jan 2010):

Absorption, distribution and excretion:

Metabolic studies of (14)c-labe nortestosterone were carried out in mice and in calves. Radioactivity was quickly eliminated mainly in urine and feces. 10 wk after admin residual levels were low. Rapid absorption and elimination may be important in vet use. [R17] *It is not known whether anabolic steroids are distributed into breast milk. /Anabolic steroids [ Thomson.Micromedex. Drug Information for the Health Care Professional. 25th ed. Volume 1. Plus Updates. Content Reviewed by the United States Pharmacopeial Convention, Inc. Greenwood Village, CO. 2005]

Metabolism/metabolites:

Isomers of 3-hydroxyestran-17-one estrane-3,17-diol were identified by gas-liq chromatography-mass spectrometry in urine of a crossbred horse given 19-nortestosterone im. [ HOUGHTON E; XENOBIOTICA 7(11) 683 (1977)]

Metabolic studies of (14)c-labeled nortestosterone were carried out in mice by macroscopic autoradiog and in calves by liq scintillation determination of excretion and organ distribution. Radioactivity quickly eliminated in urine and feces. 10 wk after admin residual levels were low. [ RICO AG ET AL; ANN RECH VET 8(2) 135 (1977)]
