AB  - Puberty is a period in which dramatic changes
occur in human life. This study was conducted to
determine the effects of nandrolone and testosteron on
some blood parameters in rabbits. In this study 60 days
old, healthy, weighing nearly each other, 30 New Zealand
rabbits were used. Animals were separated in 2 main
groups as control (7%; 8&) and experimental (7%; 8&).
The 10 mg kg<sup>&#150;1</sup> nandrolone and 10 mg kg<sup>&#150;1</sup> testosterone
was injected subcutaneously to experimental group 1 day
of per week. The application was continued for 90 days.
In the plasma samples taken on the 45 and 90th days of
the study, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and LDL
cholesterol concentrations were determined. LDL
cholesterol levels increased both in female and male
experimental groups in each sampling time (45 and 90th
days) and total cholesterol levels increased only 90th days
(p<0.05). On 45th day, HDL cholesterol level was tending
to decrease in female experimental group but this decrease
was significantly (p<0.05) in male experimental group.
Reduction in the level of HDL was also significantly in
both experimental groups on 90th day (p<0.05).
Consequently, the findings received from the study which
resulted in the side effects of nandrolon+testosterone
application regarding the parameters, seems important for
that it reveals the effects of AAS in puberty.
