  • Title: Anabolic steroids: a fatal attraction?
    Author: Wood RI.
    Journal: J Neuroendocrinol; 2006 Mar; 18(3):227-8. PubMed ID: 16454806.
    Abstract:
    Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are widely abused, but the potential for dependence and addiction remains unclear. Recent studies from our laboratory have shown that male and female hamsters will voluntarily self-administer testosterone and other AAS. Furthermore, we have observed fatal androgen overdose during self-administration. This suggests that AAS are potentially addictive, independent of their effects on muscle mass or athletic performance.
