WHAT ARE ANABOLIC STEROIDS?

 WHAT ARE ANABOLIC STEROIDS?

Anabolic steroids are derivatives of testosterone (male sex hormone.) Testosterone is a hormone secreted by the testes of man and animals. Its anabolic effect is the product of nitrogen retention by the muscle tissue. Testosterone is converted by a reductase to dihydrotestosterone, which increases the synthesis of RNA (ribonucleic acid) and protein.

Bodybuilding and Fitness in anabolic steroid used for strength and increase muscle mass.

HAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS THAT MAY OCCUR?



Steroids administered in high doses to produce muscle growth, may have different side effects that vary by steroid use.
Androgenicity

Some, like testosterone are androgenic, meaning that emphasizes male secondary sexual characteristics. Others, such as stanozolol are weakly androgenic. The man can result in increased sexual arousal during the administration of an androgenic steroid (eg testosterone) and decreased sexual desire after the end of the cycle.In women can cause masculinization: hair growth, hair loss, hoarse voice, amenorrhea, dermatology.These problems may occur with the administration of high doses of androgenic steroids (testosterone, Anadrol, etc.).
Gynecomastia

Androgenic steroids (testosterone, Oxymetholone, etc.), After a while management, undergo a process of "flavoring", by which they become estrogens (female hormones). When you get these estrogens in the body can cause gynecomastia, a hypertrophy of breast tissue, or whether the man is an inflammation or swelling of the breasts, often accompanied by pain. No way to prevent and treat it with anti-estrogen
Impotence

Sexual impotence can occur in humans at the end of a cycle with a very androgenic steroid like testosterone. The reason is that by managing for a time a decrease testicular androgen secretion of testosterone.
When performing a cycle with a not very androgenic steroid like Decadurabolin, I noticed that impotence can occur during the course of the cycle rather than be the end.

The theme of impotence can be prevented and solved using a stimulant of the secretion of testosterone by the body, such as Endocorion. The Viagra can help.
Liver damage

Steroids, especially those supplied by mouth, can cause liver damage. It is particularly toxic to the liver Anadrol.

Elevated cholesterol

The increase in cholesterol that can occur in some people with the use of steroids is not the cause of heart disease as shown by studies cited by William D. Brink in his book "Anabolic Enhancing the Environment." The cause of coronary heart disease is the oxidation of cholesterol to become "plate" which is what clogs the arteries. Studies have shown that consumption of antioxidants reduces the risk of heart disease dramatically.
Baldness

Problems may include loss of hair.
Other problems

Have reported other problems such as hypertension, psychological dependence, an enlarged prostate, acne, múculares and tendon injuries, etc. It's also common to talk about the "wrath of steroids, but their existence is unproven, since cases in which allegedly appeared, was in individuals who were already violent before starting consumption.

DEADLY ARE ANABOLIC STEROIDS?

After talking about the side effects of steroids and to the frequent comments about their lethality, it is desirable to make the following considerations: The cases of alleged killings by steroids, of which the best known are those of Mohamed Benaniza and Andreas Munzer "were due to steroids? Or perhaps other substances used in competitions such as diuretics for example? As such the amount of bodybuilders who use them would not be very frequent deaths of these? As well: the old bodybuilders would they not be dying in numbers? The undesirable effects of the same and serious health problems in which there is risk to life has been enormously exaggerated. Side effects such as temporary impotence, gynecomastia, etc.. are far from being threatening, and can counteract with appropriate drugs. The really risky drugs for life are: insulin, which can cause hypoglycemia followed by coma and death, and some diuretics such as furosemide, which can also lead to dehydration, an excessive fall in blood potassium affect cardiac function and can produce death.
