Anabolic androgenic steroid-induced hepatotoxicity
Medical Hypotheses, 2016Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) have been abused for decades by both professional and amateur athletes in order to improve physical performance or muscle mass. AAS abuse can cause adverse effects, among which are hepatotoxic effects. These effects include cholestatic icterus and possibly peliosis hepatis and hepatocellular carcinoma or adenoma.

Androgenic/Anabolic Steroid-Induced Toxic Hepatitis
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2002Athletes and bodybuilders often misuse androgenic/anabolic steroids. When used in therapeutic doses, these drugs produce clinical jaundice in just a small number of recipients. We present a 26-year-old male bodybuilder who self-administered high doses of androgenic/anabolic steroids that induced liver damage. One month before admission to the hospital,

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.

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 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.

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 ...

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 ...
