Are we set up for stickies yet? This would be a good addition.

I'm going to play with this and see if I can I stickie it.
 
  • Formate-1 carbon ester
  • Acetate-2 carbon ester
  • Propionate-3 carbon ester
  • Butyrate-4 carbon ester
  • Valerate-5 carbon ester
  • Hexanoate-6 carbon ester
  • Heptanoate-7 carbon ester
  • Enanthate-8 carbon ester
  • Octanoate-8 carbon ester
  • Cypionate-8 carbon ester
  • Nonanoate-9 carbon ester
  • Decanoate-10 carbon ester
  • Undecanoate-11 carbon ester
The more carbon atoms present within the ester, the less soluble the steroid is in the blood stream, and this causes the half-life to be higher than with an ester with fewer carbon atoms. The steroid itself is activated when these carbon atoms are removed. The esterase and hydrolysate enzymes work by cleaving off these carbon atoms from the carbon chain. Certain steroids have been known to cause injection pain and irritation. One example is testosterone propionate. This steroid will often times cause enough site irritation to cause localized swelling. Some people are more sensitive than others to this reaction, but in general, the shorter carbon chain steroid esters cause more injection pain. The less painful are the longer carbon ester chains such as decanoate, undecanoate, and cypionate.
