Synthetic derivatives of testosterone used medically to promote protein anabolism. They can be used to aid in bodybuilding. They sometimes produce an initial sense of well-being replaced after repeated use by lack of energy, irritability, and unhappiness. Continued use may lead to serious complications such as severe depression, outbursts of violence, and liver disease.<\/p>\n
Synthetic androgens that mimic the effects of the male hormone testosterone.<\/p>\n
Human-made substances related to male sex hormones. Some athletes abuse anabolic steroids to enhance performance. Abuse of anabolic steroids can lead to serious health problems, some of which are irreversible. Major side effects can include liver tumors and cancer, jaundice, high blood pressure, kidney tumors, severe acne, and trembling. In males, side effects may include shrinking of the testicles and breast development. In females, side effects may include growth of facial hair, menstrual changes, and deepened voice. In teenagers, growth may be halted prematurely and permanently.<\/p>\n
Ant of the synthetic derivatives of testosterone.<\/p>\n
A drug which encourages the synthesis of new living tissue, especially muscle, from nutrients.<\/p>\n
Natural and synthetic male hormones that may be misused in an attempt to increase muscle size and improve athletic performance (SYN: androgens).<\/p>\n
Any of a group of compounds, derived from testosterone or prepared synthetically, which aid in constructive metabolism, including the building of cell components such as proteins and fats. They are used to treat certain anemias and malignancies, to promote body growth and weight gain, to strengthen bones in osteoporosis, to counter the effects of estrogen, or to promote masculinizing characteristics. Anabolic steroids are sometimes used illegally by athletes in an attempt to improve their strength and performance.<\/p>\n
Synthetic male sex hormones (androgens). Anabolic steroids promote the growth of skeletal muscle (anabolic effects) and the development of male sexual characteristics (androgenic effects). They were originally developed to treat a condition called hypogonadism, in which the testes do not produce enough testosterone for normal growth and sexual functioning. Some athletes, especially bodybuilders, abuse steroids to increase muscle size and to decrease body fat. Anabolic steroids can cause liver failure, abnormal hair distribution, oily skin, and, in women, masculine characteristics.<\/p>\n
The nitrogen-retaining effect of androgen, a steroid hormone, is responsible for the larger muscle mass of the male. Thus anabolic steroids have the property of protein-building so that when taken, they lead to an increase in muscle bulk and strength. Androgenic side-effects may result from any of these anabolic compounds, especially if they are given for prolonged periods: for this reason they should all be used with caution in women, and are contraindicated in men with prostatic carcinoma. Jaundice due to stasis of bile in the intrahepatic canaliculi is a hazard, and the depression of pituitary gonadotrophin production is a possible complication.<\/p>\n
Anabolic steroids are artificial forms of the male hormone testosterone. They are used legitimately in the treatment of anemia, hormone disorders, and multiple sclerosis. They are also used to increase muscle mass by both male and female athletes at all levels of competition, and they have numerous adverse side effects.<\/p>\n
A synthetic version of the male hormone testosterone that is used to promote muscle development.<\/p>\n
Any of a group of synthetic drugs that resemble the male hormone testosterone.<\/p>\n
Synthetic versions of the male sex hormone testosterone, which promotes muscle development and hypertrophy.<\/p>\n
A group of synthetic, testosterone-like hormones that promote muscle growth and masculinizing effects.<\/p>\n
Pharmaceutical compounds derived from androgens, the primary male sex hormones, exhibit the capacity to accelerate the pace of tissue proliferation.<\/p>\n
Substances possessing a protein-building impact akin to testosterone are referred to as anabolic drugs. These steroids foster tissue growth, aid in muscle recuperation post-injury, and enhance bone strength. In medical contexts, they are employed to manage specific forms of anemia. Nevertheless, these substances might be misused by athletes.<\/p>\n
Potential negative consequences of anabolic steroids encompass acne, edema, harm to the liver, reduced fertility, erectile dysfunction in males, and masculinization in females.<\/p>\n
