What are anabolic steroids?

• Anabolic Steroids are a class of natural and
  synthetic steroid hormones that promote cell
  growth and division, resulting in growth of
  several types of tissues, especially muscle and
  bone.

Why I chose Anabolic Steroids

• Many modern athletes have admitted that at some
  point they have used steroids to enhance their
  muscles. I find this very hard to believe that
  some individuals will find any means necessary to
  increase their game.

History

• You can date back the use of steroids back to
  Ancient Greece. Athletes would use them to
  increase their muscles in order to compete.
  Modern steroids were discovered by German
  scientists in the 1930s

5
Chemical Structure

• Here is the chemical structure of the natural
  steroid testosterone, which is found in the
  testes in males and in the ovaries in females. It
  is a natural body steroid.

• Systematic Name
• 17b-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one

6
Male Side-effects

• Breast Development- due to high levels of
  estrogen
• Reduced sexual function and temporary infertility
  
• Testicular atrophy- due to decreased levels of
  testosterone

7
Female Side-Effects

• Body hair growth
• Deepening of the voice
• Enlarged clitoris
• Temporary decrease in menstrual cycles
• Just about the opposite because woman get an
  increase of testosterone in the body

Medical Uses

• Bone Marrow Stimulation- for many years steroids
  were used to increase the growth of blood cells,
  nowadays they are using synthetic steroids
  because it has shown much more promise
• Growth Stimulation- Pediatricians have used them
  heavily to help premature baby develop much
  quicker in order to survive

9
Medical Uses Cont.

• Stimulation of appetite and increase in muscle
  mass- I guess that they gave it to people who did
  not eat much and they were losing muscle mass
  because of that.
• Induction of male puberty- many kids were given
  testosterone in order to quicken the time it
  takes to go through puberty

10
Steroids and Suicide

• Some controversy of this drug was due to cases
  among adolescents. There have been cases that
  have linked steroid use with suicide. The
  adolescents who are continuously using steroids
  slip into a state of depression and as we know
  from psychology depression can cause suicide.

11
Abuses in Sports

• Many of the big time stars in baseball,
  weightlifting, wrestling have used steroids in
  some time of their lives. Even though it is
  banned by almost all sports these men have taken
  the risk of using them. Because of that new drug
  screening have been put in place to ensure that
  the sports are equally competitive amongst
  everybody

12
How to get Juice

• Even though it was made illegal to be in
  possession of steroids with a prescription, there
  are many ways of obtaining Juice
• The most popular I would think is either getting
  it off the internet or buying it from a foreign
  country. But this comes with many risks. The
  product might be a fraud and can in some causes
  cause more harm than the simple side-effects
• Amazingly I also found info. That stated that
  some physicians and other doctors were giving
  patients steroids illegally for some money

13
Conclusion

• Some people might say that steroids have a good
  effect on the human, but from what we have
  learned it has its pros and cons. So, would you
  take the chance to bulk up those guns but be
  willing to go through the bad sides as well.
