How Do Anabolic Androgenic Steroids work?
Testosterone, the male sex hormone is responsible for stimulating the development of male sexual characteristics known as the androgenic effect and the build up of muscle tissue known as anabolic effect. Anabolic androgenic steroids are natural or man-made compounds that act in a similar way to testosterone. Most manufacturers of anabolic steroids attempt to minimize the androgenic and maximize the anabolic effects of the drug. All available anabolic steroids have both actions to a varying degree according to the body’s own response. Anabolic androgenic steroids are often referred to ‘anabolic steroids’ – both names refer to the same substances.
