Abstract
Six anabolic steroids were assessed for their ability to enhance plasma fibrinolytic activity in males with ischaemic heart disease. Five 17alpha-alkylated steroids (Ethyloestrenol, Norethandrolone, Methandienone, Methylandrostenediol and Oxymetholone) were examined and all produced a significant increase in plasma plasminogen activator as measured by the euglobulin lysis time. The only non-17alpha-alkylated steroid studied (Methenolone acetate) failed to enhance fibrinolysis. The 17alpha-alkylated steroids studied all deserve more detailed evaluation of their long term effects on plasma fibrinolytic activity.
