Am J Hematol. 1988 Oct;29(2):120-1. doi: 10.1002/ajh.2830290211.

Abstract

A patient with congenital protein-C deficiency was treated with stanozolol for 8 weeks to increase circulating levels of protein C. A rise in protein C was achieved, accompanied by an increase in factor II, factor X, antithrombin III, and protein S; but at the 8th week the patient suffered a transient ischemia attack.
