Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids Anabolic: stimulate muscle growth Androgenic: stimulate male sex characteristics
Male Sex Hormones Before Castration After Castration • It was deduced that a secretion of the testes was responsible for male • sex characteristics
Testis Extract and Hormones from Urine Testis extract: High activity
Separation of Androgenicand Anabolic Effects • Receptors for testosterone have the same affinity in the • sex accessory organs as in skeletal muscle
Performance Enhancers • 17α- alkyl and 17β- esters are not suitable for illegal use by athletes because of their prolonged life and ease of detection • Prohormones are metabolized into active anabolics and occur naturally in the body Androstenedione DHEA
