Anabolic steroid
Anabolic steroids, also known as anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), are a class of drugs that are structurally related to testosterone, the main male sex hormone, and produce effects by binding to the androgen receptor (AR). Androgen ester and anabolic steroid are anabolic–androgenic steroids.
See Androgen ester and Anabolic steroid
Androgen
An androgen (from Greek andr-, the stem of the word meaning "man") is any natural or synthetic steroid hormone that regulates the development and maintenance of male characteristics in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors. Androgen ester and androgen are anabolic–androgenic steroids.
See Androgen ester and Androgen
Androgen replacement therapy
Androgen replacement therapy (ART), often referred to as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), is a form of hormone therapy in which androgens, often testosterone, are supplemented or replaced.
See Androgen ester and Androgen replacement therapy
Androstanolone
Androstanolone, or stanolone, also known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and sold under the brand name Andractim among others, is an androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) medication and hormone which is used mainly in the treatment of low testosterone levels in men. Androgen ester and Androstanolone are anabolic–androgenic steroids and Androstanes.

Bioavailability
In pharmacology, bioavailability is a subcategory of absorption and is the fraction (%) of an administered drug that reaches the systemic circulation.
See Androgen ester and Bioavailability
Biological half-life
Biological half-life (elimination half-life, pharmacological half-life) is the time taken for concentration of a biological substance (such as a medication) to decrease from its maximum concentration (Cmax) to half of Cmax in the blood plasma.
See Androgen ester and Biological half-life
Drug metabolism is the metabolic breakdown of drugs by living organisms, usually through specialized enzymatic systems.
See Androgen ester and Drug metabolism
Ester
In chemistry, an ester is a functional group derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group of that acid is replaced by an organyl group.
Estrogen ester
An estrogen ester is an ester of an estrogen, most typically of estradiol but also of other estrogens such as estrone, estriol, and even nonsteroidal estrogens like diethylstilbestrol.

Intramuscular injection
Intramuscular injection, often abbreviated IM, is the injection of a substance into a muscle.

Lipophilicity
Lipophilicity (from Greek λίπος "fat" and φίλος "friendly") is the ability of a chemical compound to dissolve in fats, oils, lipids, and non-polar solvents such as hexane or toluene.

List of androgen esters
This is a list of androgen esters, including esters (as well as ethers) of natural androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and synthetic anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS) like nandrolone (19-nortestosterone). Androgen ester and list of androgen esters are anabolic–androgenic steroids and androgen esters.

Nandrolone
Nandrolone, also known as 19-nortestosterone, is an endogenous androgen which exists in the male body at a ratio of 1:50 compared to testosterone. Androgen ester and Nandrolone are anabolic–androgenic steroids.

Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics (from Ancient Greek pharmakon "drug" and kinetikos "moving, putting in motion"; see chemical kinetics), sometimes abbreviated as PK, is a branch of pharmacology dedicated to describing how the body affects a specific substance after administration.

Progestogen ester
A progestogen ester is an ester of a progestogen or progestin (a synthetic progestogen).
See Androgen ester and Progestogen ester
Prohormone
A prohormone is a committed precursor of a hormone consisting of peptide hormones synthesized together that has a minimal hormonal effect by itself because of its expression-suppressing structure, often created by protein folding and binding additional peptide chains to certain ends, that makes hormone receptor binding sites located on its peptide hormone chain segments inaccessible.
See Androgen ester and Prohormone
Steroid ester
A steroid ester is an ester of a steroid.
See Androgen ester and Steroid ester
Testosterone (medication)
Testosterone (T) is a medication and naturally occurring steroid hormone. Androgen ester and Testosterone (medication) are anabolic–androgenic steroids and Androstanes.
