STEROIDS are a man-made version of chemicals, known as hormones, that are made naturally in the human body. Steroids are designed to act like these hormones to reduce inflammation. They're also known as corticosteroids and are different from anabolic steroids used by bodybuilders and athletes.

Anabolic steroids are synthetic substances similar to the male hormone testosterone. Doctors prescribe them to treat problems such as delayed puberty and other medical problems that cause the body to make very low amounts of testosterone. Steroids make muscles bigger and bones stronger. They also may cause puberty to start and can help some boys who have a genetic disorder to grow more normally. also known more properly as anabolic-androgenic steroids, are steroidal androgens that include natural androgens like testosterone as well as synthetic androgens that are structurally related and have similar effects to testosterone.

 

 

 

EFFECTS ON BODY.

 When taken in doses higher than the amount your body normally produces, steroids reduce redness and swelling (inflammation). This can help with inflammatory conditions such as asthma and eczema. Steroids also reduce the activity of the immune system, which is the body's natural defense against illness and infection.

 

Types:

Corticosteroids: Glucocorticoids: Cortisol, a glucocorticoid whose functions include immunosuppression. Mineralocorticoids: ...

Sex steroids: Progestogens: Progesterone, which regulates cyclical changes in the endometrium of the uterus and maintains pregnancy. Androgens.

Plant steroids: include steroidal alkaloids found in Solanaceae and Melanthiaceae (especially the genus Veratrum), cardiac glycosides, the phytosterols, and the brassinosteroids (which include several plant hormones).

DURATION:

Steroid use for over two weeks can decrease the ability of your body to respond to physical stress. A higher dose of steroids may be needed at times of major stress, such as surgery or very extensive dental work, or serious infection. This could be needed for as long as a year after you have stopped steroids.

 

SAFE OR NOT:

There is no 'safe' dose of an anabolic steroid. If you continue to use steroids, despite health warnings and your doctor's advice, however, keep the dose to an absolute minimum and take breaks from using the steroids.

STRONGEST:

Dimethyltrienolone

Dimethyltrienolone (developmental code name RU-2420) is a synthetic, orally active, and extremely potent anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) and 17α-alkylated 19-nortestosterone (nandrolone) derivative which was never marketed for medical use.

 

Do bodybuilders use steroids?

Some bodybuilders use anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs to build muscles and recover from injuries more quickly, but competitions sometimes ban using them because of the health risks or considerations regarding the fair competition.
