Anabolic Steroids

What are anabolic steroids?

Testosterone was often referred to as the "male" hormone, because it is responsible for developing some of the male characteristics such as lowering of the voice and hair growth, and because the male body produces much more of it than the female.

However, it is responsible for stimulating quite a few other processes in both the male and female body, such as skin, muscle and bone. Anabolic steroids are synthetic versions of testosterone, they are steroid hormones that are claimed to have a greater anabolic effect than virile.
The testosterone molecule has in different ways been altered to lessen the androgenic effects and increase it's protein build-up abbility, and preferably eliminate it's masculine enhancing features.

Unfortunately this has not been completely successful, so there are a lot of different side effects with any anabolic steroid.

What is the history of steroids?

Steroids was developed in the 1940s in Germany and used experimentally on their troops during World War II, the drugs ability to stimulate tissue growth and protein synthesis lead them to believe that the drug might be beneficial to treat burn victims and towards other war accidents. The drug was never such a big success, because other drugs with fewer side effects were discovered, and the legal use of steroids still seems to be declining.
