Steroids - benefits and harms.
Fitness classes are often associated not with weight loss, but, on the contrary, with a set of muscle mass. And a person who aims to get well-developed muscles makes physical efforts and additional chemicals that stimulate hormonal metabolism, which is responsible for the increased growth of muscle tissue - steroid hormones. In the body, steroid hormones are generated from cholesterol, but their amount is limited by the reserves of adipose tissue. That is why it is so important to have a certain layer of subcutaneous fat, it is the source of the synthesis of sex hormones.
To build muscle mass for sports purposes, anabolic steroid hormones are used - these are synthetic analogues of the body's natural hormones.
The anabolic effect is provided by tissue growth, androgenic hormones are responsible for masculinization (masculinization) of the muscles. The growth of muscle mass allows you to increase strength loads.
The downside of steroid "replenishment" is the load on bones and joints, which do not have time to strengthen with the intensive growth of muscle tissue. In addition to being traumatic, taking steroids is associated with changes in the emotional sphere of a person: unexpected bouts of rage, an increase in aggressiveness, an unjustified situation. A high level of strength loads stimulated by steroids loads the heart muscle, leads to an increase in blood pressure, and creates the prerequisites for the development of myocardial infarction.
Steroids can become a growth factor for tumors, including malignant ones. Steroids stress the kidneys and liver. Almost all men who are addicted to steroid hormones become hostages of such a disease as gynecomastia.
