Diagnosing ASIH (by Dr. Thomas O’Connor)
DIAGNOSING ASIH Clinical Application of the Knowledge Base: Valid and Timely Diagnosis Targeted treatment of ASIH must begin with a valid diagnosis. That is, one which is informed by the distinct characteristics of this unique form of hypogonadism. Brower (2009) has provided an operational definition for diagnosis of ASIH: ‘To confirm the physiological basis of […]
Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Induced Hypogonadism (by Dr. Thomas O’Connor)
Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Induced Hypogonadism ASIH): A Unique Type of Hypogonadism Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids (AAS)– the Good News and the Bad News It is estimated that the numbers of anabolic steroid (AAS) users has tripled–most notably among young users– from one to three million since these agents were declared illegal in 1991. In contrast to AAS use […]
The Endocrinology of Muscle Growth
The Endocrinology of Muscle Growth The road to anabolic insight must include a biological understanding of what muscle growth actually entails. Often simplified by the term ‘protein synthesis’, muscle growth is actually a highly complex process involving much more than just building proteins from amino acids. Muscle hypertrophy, the correct scientific term for the way […]
Acute Steroid Safety: Studies with Real-World Dosages
Acute Steroid Safety: Studies with Real-World Dosages Few medicines have the type of stigma about them that anabolic/androgenic steroids do. If you mention the decision to use these drugs to the average person, you are likely to be lectured about the tremendous physical and psychological risks you are about to undertake; how your hair might […]
Side Effects
Steroid Side Effects While anabolic/androgenic steroids (AAS) are generally regarded as therapeutic drugs with high safety, their use can also be associated with a number of adverse cosmetic, physical, and psychological effects. Many of these side effects are often apparent during therapeutic-use conditions, although their incidence tends to increase profoundly as the dosages reach supratherapeutic […]
Clinical Applications
Clinical Applications Anabolic/androgenic steroids are approved for sale by prescription in virtually every pharmaceutical market around the world. Having been applied for many decades to treat a variety of diseased states, today these drugs have a number of well-established medical uses. They have been used to treat most patient populations, including men and women of […]
Steroid Nomenclature
Steroid Nomenclature Perhaps not obvious at first glance, there is a naming convention in place that was used to create identities for the various anabolic/androgenic steroid hormones. This typically involves forming a root word to convey the structural base of the steroid, and signifying other unique structural characteristics by including appropriate prefixes or suffixes. Below, […]
Synthetic AAS Chemistry
Synthetic AAS Chemistry All anabolic/androgenic steroids are preparations containing one of the above three natural steroid hormones, or chemically altered derivatives thereof. In creating new synthetic compounds, one of the three natural hormones is selected as a starting point, typically due to the possession of particular traits that may be beneficial for the new compound.
