Some athletes take a form of steroids --- known as anabolic-androgenic steroids or just anabolic steroids --- to increase their muscle mass and strength. The main anabolic steroid hormone produced by your body is testosterone. Testosterone has two main effects on your body: Anabolic effects promote muscle building.
A new study shows that nandrolone decanoate---a synthetic testosterone derivative---and resistance training increase muscle size and strength, and improve physical function, in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
The received wisdom is that testosterone must be injected weekly for at least 10 weeks. Yet sports scientist Robert Weatherby of Southern Cross University in Lismore, New South Wales, Australia, who conducted the study, found the biggest increase in performance came after just three weeks.
Abusing anabolic steroids can also stunt adolescents' growth. Steroids can cause premature aging of the bones.
Deca-Durabolin should be administered by deep intramuscular injection. Post-menopausal women 50mg every three weeks. The duration of treatment depends on the clinical response and the possible occurrence of side effects.
Bulking: deca durabolin has been used successfully in helping hiv patients gain weight without the risk of too many androgenic side effects. In bodybuilding, that translates into clean, lean muscle mass without the risk of water retention, acne or hair loss.
If the gynecomastia does not resolve after a conservative treatment, then surgery may be recommended. Among more common anabolic steroids on the market include Anadrol, Dianabol, Deca-Durabolin, and of course, Testosterone cypionate. Antibiotics -- Several antibiotics have been linked to the development of gynecomastia.
The answer is yes. However, whereas a steroid user is pretty much going to grow no matter what kind of training he or she does, a natural lifter needs to play much closer attention to how he or she exercises, what supplements to use and how/when to eat.
Steroid use cannot be stopped abruptly; tapering the drug gives the adrenal glands time to return to their normal patterns of secretion. Withdrawal symptoms and signs (weakness, fatigue, decreased appetite, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain) can mimic many other medical problems.
The use of steroids often results in higher levels of water being retained in the body, this is known as oedema and can lead to puffier cheeks and a rounder face.
Taking oral corticosteroids (for asthma, arthritis or other conditions) or applying them topically can decrease collagen and elastin, cause the skin to become thinner and make blood vessels prone to rupturing more easily, leading to broken capillaries.
Steroid users may be very pleased when they flex in the mirror, but they may create problems on the inside. These problems may hurt them the rest of their lives. As a matter of fact steroid use can shorten their lives.
