Think you know about steroids? Want to know what they are all about? I've wrote this article to give you a bit of steroid knowledge.


What Are They? Anabolic steroids are synthetic versions of testosterone, the body's natural sex hormone. Anabolic steroids have been attractive to athletes and bodybuilders because they increase the size and strength of muscles. They also increase aggressiveness and competitiveness, which can be desirable traits in sports and in the gym.


How Are Anabolic Steroids Used As Drugs? In general anabolic steroids may be prescribed to promote appetite, stimulate bone growth, induce male puberty, to lessen the effects of muscle wasting from chronic diseases, such as cancer or AIDS, and may show promise as a male contraceptive. The drugs are available as oral pills, injectable steroids, and skin patches.


How Do Anabolic Steroids Work? Anabolic steroids change muscle mass and strength. The steroids lead to an increased production of proteins, which are the building blocks of muscle (more building blocks means more possibility of muscle mass and strength). Here's the science below.


When a steroid is consumed either orally or via injection, it travels to the androgen receptors located within the various cells. This connection activates the hormone receptor creating a messenger RNA, which signals the DNA to construct specific proteins (muscle building blocks). These proteins travel throughout the body creating anabolic/growth responses. Although anabolism is the primary action of steroids, they also draw out many other desirable and undesirable effects.
