Anabolic-androgenic steroids: In cell culture
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal, 1993Testosterone and related steroids at physiological concentrations positively stimulate in cell culture a number of reactions in a variety of tissues from different species of animals. Cells maintained in cell culture provide a means to study toxic effects in target organs and also the mechanism of action of these steroids.
