How 19-Nor-5-androstenedione works
It is believed that 19-Nor-5-andorstenedione may be metabolized in the body to produce a metabolite which can activate the androgen receptor, similar to testosterone. However, androgen receptor activation is likely less than that of testosterone or dihydrotestosterone.
Toxicity
Because 19-Nor-5-androstenedione is metabolically related to other controlled anabolic steroids, it is likely to have similar adverse health effects such as liver, heart and skin problems, hormonal disruptions, stunted growth, and psychological effects such as rage and depression.
