BACKGROUND Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) is being used in medical treatments, but AAS also was identified to have the risks of adverse effects towards patients and consumers health. OBJECTIVE Present study was conducted to observe the effects of testosterone, nandrolone, and stanozolol (forms of AAS) intake during onset of puberty on the rat testicular histology. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...

In humans, anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) use has been associated with hyperactivity and disruption of circadian rhythmicity. We used an animal model to determine the impact of AAS on the development and expression of circadian function. Beginning on day 68 gonadally intact male rats received testosterone, nandrolone, or stanozolol via constant release pellets for 60 days; gonadally intact c...

We report a case of a bodybuilder who took a regimen of anabolic steroids containing stanozolol and testosterone propionate for 8 weeks which led to the development of jaundice and severe pruritus with serum total bilirubin reaching 41.22 mg/dL. Despite supportive care with fluid and albumin therapy, serum creatinine was progressively increasing. He underwent 6 successful sessions of plasma exc...

The prevalence of polycystic ovaries in the women who had had recurrent miscarriages was high (82%). Although the number of parous control women was small, their prevalence of polycystic ovaries (18%) was similar to that observed in a much larger population of normal women (22%).3 The normal serum luteinising hormone and urine pregnanediol-3a-glucuronide concentrations suggest that the endocrin...
