Effect of steroids

Corticosteroids are powerful drugs which can quickly reduce swelling and inflammation, greatly improve symptoms and provoke incredible results. However, there are potential consequences and side effects. The power of corticosteroids should not be feared, but must be respected. To maximize benefits, but minimize potential side effects, steroids are usually prescribed in low doses or for short durations.
Anabolic steroids difference muscle mass and strength by two processes. First, the steroids lead to an increased producing of proteins, which are the structure blocks of muscle. The steroids also block the effect of the hormone cortisol on muscle tissue, so that existing muscle is broken down at a slower rate. Additionally, anabolic steroids lead to cells differentiating into muscle more readily than fat.
In addition to increasing muscle strength and mass, the effects of taking anabolic steroids include dangerous changes in cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, acne, liver destruction, and changes to the structure of the left ventricle of the nerve. Anabolic steroids have an androgenic or virilizing effect, meaning they affect male characteristics. Anabolic steroids impress the onset of puberty, growth of the clitoris in females and the penis in man children (does not affect the magnitude of the penis in adults), increased extent of the vocal chords and deepening of the voice, increased cadaver hair and premature baldness in people predisposed to it. Another side result is decreased fertility and testicular atrophy.
