    TLDR Finasteride worsens heart damage from nandrolone decanoate but protects against cell damage.
    The study concluded that finasteride exacerbated the harmful cardiac effects of nandrolone decanoate (ND), such as hypertrophy, inflammation, and increased ACE activity, while providing protection against genotoxic and cytotoxic damage in male Wistar rats. This dual effect highlighted the complex interactions between these substances, suggesting that while finasteride might mitigate some cellular damage, it could also worsen cardiovascular outcomes when combined with anabolic steroids like ND.
