Things to Know About Steroids

What is a steroid?
The steroid is described as a fat ring with united carbon
atoms. Steroids vary depending on the functional groups of the
ring. Unique steroids were found in plants and animals. They
play an important role in living systems as hormones. The term
"steroid" is used in a restricted and specific context in
different areas. In medicine, the term steroid is used by
non-endocrinologists physicians as a corticosteroid. In terms of
bodybuilding, the meaning steroid refers to anabolic steroids.
Most steroids are synthesized from cholesterol, as well as
sex hormones are steroids synthesized from cholesterol. In terms
of bodybuilding, anabolic steroids are synthetic hormones that
cause body tissue to increase muscular products. Athletes use
steroids to train easier, to have more power, run faster, lift
heavier weights, recover faster, and have a perfect shape.
How do we use steroids?
Steroids exist in injectable and oral versions, but they may
be available as a spray, ointment, and other applications under
the skin. Bodybuilders typically use more than one substance,
they can use one oral and one injectable steroid, to achieve
better results. When using more than one substance, can be used
not only steroids, they can be combined with other substances
such as growth hormones, testosterone, insulin, clenbuterol,
HCG, etc.
The most commonly used method is to combine in cycles from 2
to 16 weeks different substances, depending on the user's
purpose. In the beginning, use small amounts and then gradually
increase up to a maximum level and then minimize the dose to
increase the effect and avoid side effects at the end of the
cycle. There are other methods such as starting with a steroid
and taking it in the same amount for a while, then continuing
with another steroid combined with other substances. The doses
one can use depend on the utilized substances and wanted
results.
Injectable steroids last longer and are injected from 2-3
days to 7-10 days in doses of 250-1000 mg per week. Oral
steroids should be administered daily and sometimes several
times a day in doses from 5 to 100 mg depending on the type of
substance and desired result.
For your safety and health, before and after using steroids,
it is indicated to make some simple medical analysis to get sure
that your body is sane. It is recommended to check up:
cardiovascular system - need to control cholesterol levels,
blood pressure, lipoproteins, and triglycerides, which are
important factors of influence.
liver functioning - liver is responsible for processing
steroids, so it is important to inspect its functioning,
considering bilirubin, transaminase, etc.
blood tests - provide general information about your body, it is
necessary to check hemoglobin, electrolytes, globulin, albumin,
etc.
endocrine system - will offer information about the hormonal
system's proper activity: estrogen, cortisone, testosterone,
etc.
Steroids' use may bring not only unwanted side effects but
can also have certain contraindications in the administration to
some categories of persons. Using steroids should be started
only after reading the documents that accompany them.
Steroids effect!
Before, androgens and anabolic steroids were considered to be
different substances, which might get new types of steroids that
would have a better effect on muscle mass. As time has shown,
those are similar substances that just act differently. All of
the steroids that affect muscle growth have at the same time an
androgen action. It is good to know that androgenic steroids'
action is lower than testosterone, while androgenic steroids
have higher androgen effects.
Protein production is the main action of steroids on muscle
cells. As steroids have a catabolic action, they decrease the
number of proteins that are destroyed in muscle tissue. Another
important effect is to accelerate the process of forming
creatine-phosphate, by providing energy to the muscle cells and
making them stronger. The reversible process needs creatine -
phosphate because it increases the amount of energy.
Oxandrolone is a substance that influences creatine-phosphate
formation in large quantities, increasing muscle strength.
Another significant thing for athletes is that steroids assist
muscle cells to form glycogen, which is accumulated in muscles
with fluid and helps increase resistance. Muscle cells process
steroids, to obtain nutritive assimilated substances such as
glycogen and proteins in amino acids, formed with minimal
insulin. This helps to minimize fat and increase muscle mass
because the anabolic hormone insulin transforms the glucose into
glycerin, then into triglyceride, and finally to lipid
accumulation.
Several steroidal molecules are processed by the body with
sex hormones and some of them are eliminated outside while
another part can be transformed into a female hormone -
estrogen. This process is called aromatization and it appears to
be impossible after a thorough examination of male and female
sex hormones is observed that they are similar. The body
processes structural changes in the molecule using enzymes.
Thus, some steroidal molecules turn into dihydrotestosterone
with similar, exogenous parts as testosterone. Since it is
chemically similar to receptors in muscle cells compared with
testosterone, experts say that dihydrotestosterone is more
potent than male and female sex hormones.
Artificial androgen steroids end up in the blood and have a
high capacity to bind with suitable receptors because they are
kept in a free form for a long. Products such as Nandrolone
Decanoate, Dianabol, Testosterone Enanthate, Sustanon, and
Parabolan are more active in looking receptors because they have
a higher number of free molecules. Moreover, much depends on the
particular organism.
Some athletes have a large number of receptors, they will have a
visible result even if they will take steroids in small doses,
unlike those who have a small number of receptors in muscle
cells and will obtain the desired result only by taking strong
artificial androgen steroids.
