Anabolic Steroids and Their Role in Growth
Overview
Anabolic steroids are synthetic derivatives of testosterone designed to promote muscle and bone growth. Known as androgenic steroids, they stimulate cell growth and division, impacting various tissues, particularly muscle and bone.
Understanding Anabolic Steroids
The term "anabolic" refers to muscle building, "androgenic" means masculine growth, and "steroids" classify these substances as a type of drug. Androgenic anabolic steroids, often abbreviated as AAS in medical contexts, are synthetic compounds linked to male sex hormones.
Common Types of Anabolic Steroids
The market offers several androgenic anabolic steroids, including:
- Anadrol (oxymetholone)
- Dianabol (methandrostenolone)
- Testosterone
- Anadur (nandrolone hexylphenylpropionate)
- Anavar (oxandrolone)
- Andriol (testosterone undecanoate)
- AndroGel (testosterone)
- Cheque Drops (mibolerone)
- Danocrine (danazol)
These steroids exhibit anabolic qualities, crucial in anabolism?"building larger molecules from smaller ones. Each steroid has varying degrees of androgenic and anabolic properties.
Medical Applications
Available legally only by prescription, androgenic anabolic steroids treat conditions caused by low testosterone, such as delayed puberty and certain types of impotence. They also address uncontrolled weight loss in wasting diseases like AIDS, helping maintain lean muscle mass.
Use in Sports and Bodybuilding
Bodybuilders and athletes frequently use these steroids to enhance muscle mass, strength, and stamina. However, this non-therapeutic use is banned in competitive sports. Misuse can result in health issues like elevated cholesterol, liver disease, and an increased risk of heart attacks or strokes. Adolescents risk permanent stunted growth.
Legal and Historical Context
Discovered in the early 1930s, anabolic steroids became controlled substances due to abuse. In 1988, a federal law made their non-therapeutic distribution illegal, and by 1991, they were classified among abused drugs. Notably, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a precursor hormone boosting testosterone, is still available as a dietary supplement without a prescription.
