Question
Chapter 20.9, Problem 16P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structural difference in testosterone and in Dinabol has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Steroids:
- It contain a steroidal ring and fatty acid chain is absent in it.
- The nucleus of the steroid can be a fused ring consisting of six and five-membered ring with different
functional groups.
Testosterone and dianabol are two important muscle building steroids.
Testosterone is a natural muscle-building steroid and dianabol is a synthetic muscle-building steroid.
