Application


  • Oxymetholone in Muscle Growth Research: A study on the synergistic blend of Garcinia mangostana and Cinnamomum tamala suggests potential for enhancing myogenic differentiation and mitochondrial biogenesis, similar to effects observed with Oxymetholone in promoting muscle growth and strength (Sinha et al., 2023).

  • Oxymetholone in Combination Therapy: Long-term combination therapy with Metformin and Oxymetholone in a Fanconi Anemia mouse model shows significant promise for treating this genetic disorder, suggesting new therapeutic pathways involving this potent anabolic steroid (Dorrell et al., 2023).

  • Cost-effectiveness of Oxymetholone: Real-world analysis in Thailand compares the cost-effectiveness of Oxymetholone versus Rabbit-Antithymocyte Globulin for treating acquired aplastic anemia, providing valuable insights into healthcare resource allocation (Penthinapong et al., 2023).

  • Oxymetholone and Testicular Toxicity: Research investigates the effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Oxymetholone-induced testicular toxicity, contributing to understanding its adverse effects and potential mitigation strategies (Saba et al., 2023).
