Anabolic–Androgenic Steroids
2012The anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS) are a family of hormones that includes the natural male hormone, testosterone, together with a group of synthetic derivatives of testosterone. These drugs are widely abused by men (and rarely, women) to gain muscle mass and lose body fat.

Aortopathic effect of androgenic anabolic steroids
Journal of Echocardiography, 2020Anabolic androgens have been reported to be associated with cardiovascular complications. One study revealed that increase in vascular stiffness in bodybuilders is associated with anabolic androgens and improvement in vascular function may occur following anabolic androgens discontinuation. The aim of this study was to investigate any possible relation

The use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) to increase muscle size and strength is widespread. Information regarding self-administered AAS used nonmedically to enhance athletic performance or improve physical appearance is sparse and poorly documented.

The anabolic - androgenic steroids
Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 1962A number of analogues of testosterone are claimed to relieve chronic fatigue; to improve well-being, appetite and weight, especially in the chronically ill and the aged; to shorten convalescence from surgery, fractures, wasting disease, acute and chronic infections, and severe burns; to relieve osteoporosis; to combat catabolic effects of prolonged ...

The History of the Development of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2007The history of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AASs) is an interesting tale that has its roots in ancient "endocrinology." More than 6000 years ago, farmers noted enhanced domestication of animals after castration. The development of AASs, and, later, their artificial synthesis, have remained a hot topic in scientific research and pharmaceuticals.

Anabolic and Androgenic Steroids
1988Androgens are steroid hormones that possess virilizing (androgenic) actions and, consequently, serve to stimulate differentiation and maintenance of the androgen-dependent tissues of the male reproductive system. These hormones also play an important role in facilitating protein synthesis (anabolic actions) in androgen-sensitive tissues such as ...

Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Abuse by Physicians
Journal of Addictive Diseases, 2006Physicians are not immune to the rising popularity of anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) abuse. We present three cases of physician-patients who recently required inpatient substance abuse treatment stemming from the abuse of AAS or related compounds. These individuals shared a number of clinical and psychological features that led to or resulted from ...

Androgens and Anabolic Steroids
2000A number of in vitro studies have provided evidence for the involvement of androgens in bone metabolism. These studies provide a consistent basis for the potential role of androgens in skeletal homeostasis in vivo. In particular, androgens have been shown to have stimulatory effects on osteoblast proliferation and differentiation [1,2], and androgen ...

The conclusions reached in surveying anabolic steroid use in male and female athletes are that anabolic steroids do increase muscle bulk and body weight in all anabolic steroid takers but that increases in strength are certain to occur at low doses only in those undertaking regular training exercise.

Androgenic and Anabolic Steroids
1986Androgens are steroid hormones that possess virilizing actions and, consequently, serve to stimulate differentiation and maintenance of the androgen-dependent tissues of the male reproductive system. These hormones also play an important role in facilitating protein synthesis in androgen-sensitive tissues such as skeletal muscle, bone, and the kidneys.
