research Innovative Reports on the Effects of Anabolic Androgenic Steroid Abuse - How to Lose Your Mind for the Love of Sport
Abusing steroids can damage your heart, muscles, reproductive system, liver, skin, and brain, and may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
research Pharmacology of Anabolic Steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research Adverse Health Effects of Androgen Use
Using anabolic androgenic steroids can cause serious, lasting health problems in many parts of the body.
research The Mechanisms of Anabolic Steroids, Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators, and Myostatin Inhibitors
Anabolic steroids boost muscle growth, SARMs increase muscle mass and bone density without side effects, and myostatin inhibitors block a protein that stops muscle growth, but each has potential risks.
research Identification of Anabolic Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators with Reduced Activities in Reproductive Tissues and Sebaceous Glands
Two new compounds were found to build bone and muscle without affecting reproductive organs and skin oil glands.
research Potential Adverse Effects of Long-Term Testosterone Therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
research Finasteride Promotes Worsening of the Cardiac Deleterious Effects of Nandrolone Decanoate and Protects Against Genotoxic and Cytotoxic Damage
Finasteride worsens heart damage from nandrolone decanoate but protects against cell damage.
research Consequences of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Abuse in Males: Sexual and Reproductive Perspective
Using anabolic-androgenic steroids can harm men's reproductive health and increase the risk of heart problems and death.
research Anabolic Effect of Dihydrotestosterone in Testicular Feminization Syndrome
Dihydrotestosterone has a reduced effect on muscle-building in people with testicular feminization syndrome, especially after their gonads are removed.
research The Use of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids: A Focus on Polypharmacy
Using high doses and multiple drugs with steroids is risky and should be prevented.
research Mechanism of Action of Bolandiol (19-Nortestosterone-3β,17β-Diol), a Unique Anabolic Steroid with Androgenic, Estrogenic, and Progestational Activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research Low Anabolic Profile in Assessing a Patient’s Overall Hair Loss
Some supplements and hormones can increase hair loss by raising DHT levels.
research Steroid Plant Hormones: Effects Outside the Plant Kingdom
Plant steroid hormones show growth, health, and medicinal benefits in various organisms, including potential for treating diseases.
research Androgenic Alopecia: A Counterproductive Outcome of the Anabolic Effect of Androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Androgen Receptor Activation Integrates Complex Transcriptional Effects in Osteoblasts, Involving the Growth Factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and Transcription Factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
research Effect of Testosterone Supplementation With and Without a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor on Fat-Free Mass in Men With Suppressed Testosterone Production
Testosterone's muscle-building effects do not require its conversion to DHT.
research Testosterone Supplementation for Aging-Associated Sarcopenia
Testosterone supplements can increase muscle mass and strength in older men with low levels, but long-term effects and risks need more research.
research Chapter 17: Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research Steroids And Steroid-Like Compounds
Athletes use steroids to enhance performance despite health risks and legal issues, and education on their dangers is needed.
research Dianabol Unveiled: A Systematic Review of Methandrostenolone
Dianabol boosts muscle growth but has serious health risks and legal issues.
