Steroids are synthetic substances derived from testosterone that stimulate muscle growth<\/p>\n\n
Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS): Synthetic derivatives of testosterone with a predominance of anabolic effect (protein building) over androgenic effect<\/p>\n\n
Steroids are lipid hormones essential for numerous bodily functions; their synthetic versions save lives when properly prescribed, but can be dangerous if taken without proper supervision<\/p>\n\n
How Do They Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
They cross the cell membrane due to being lipid-soluble \u2192 bind to cytoplasmic receptors \u2192 the hormone-receptor complex enters the nucleus and modulates gene transcription \u2192 synthesis or inhibition of specific proteins (enzymes, ion channels, structural proteins).<\/p>\n\n
Regulate sexual development, spermatogenesis, menstrual cycle, secondary characteristics<\/p>\n\n
CHEMICALLY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
Cyclic lipids: derived from cholesterol (natural precursor)<\/p>\n\n
Four-ring nucleus (three six-carbon rings and one five-carbon ring) with different side groups that determine their function<\/p>\n\n
RESULTS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
Rapid increases in lean mass and strength, but studies do not demonstrate that they improve skill, agility, or actual athletic performance.<\/p>\n\n<\/figure>\n\n
ADMINISTRATION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
Injections are typically intramuscular, and they are also available in oral administration form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
