  • Title: Anabolic steroids in athletics.
    Author: Mellion MB.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1984 Jul; 30(1):113-9. PubMed ID: 6464945.
    Abstract:
    With an increasing emphasis on competition and winning in all levels of sports, many athletes in strength events use anabolic steroids in an effort to increase their strength and enhance their performance. The evidence on behalf of this practice is inconclusive, and the potential risks include jaundice, hypercholesterolemia, fluid retention, hypertension and liver abnormalities. Additionally, the effect on luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone may alter sexual status.
