Steroids injection side effects, is it real or psychological?
It is an established fact that steroids have negative side effects to it. Take for example testosterone cypionate and trenbolone acetate. These two compounds are really found to cause dizziness and nausea in users. Testosterone cypionate can also cause suppression of normal testosterone production and another drug to counteract such effect may be needed.
However, there [...]
New test to determine steroids in meat
In Europe, the illegal practice of using steroids in the beef industry has become so widespread that scientists are beginning to look for better ways to detect these growth-promoting hormones in cattle. The European Union banned the use of steroids as this may cause meat contamination, food poisoning and even death. Steroids are traditionally measured [...]
New Technology can contribute to the future of steroids
A new technology called Dynamic Combinational Chemistry (DCC) is predicted by researchers to have either a potentially harmful or beneficial effect in the future of designer steroids. This technology is currently used by pharmaceutical companies to develop and test new drugs for therapeutic and medical purposes. It won’t be long, however, before steroid companies will [...]
Failure to conduct drug testing in horses despite tight New York regulations
Despite tightened rules regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs in racehorses in, the state failed to conduct testing due to lack of sufficient funds, according to Dr. Michael I. Kotlikoff, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University, where the program is conducted.
Board racing officials disagree however because according to their spokesman, Joe [...]
Steroids abuse and periodontal health
The gingiva may be affected by sex hormones and several studies were done previously to prove such changes. This lead for Dr. Onur Oczelik and his colleagues of Cukurova University in Adana, Turkey to conduct a study on the effects of anabolic androgenic steroids abuse to the gums. If anabolic androgenic steroids produce muscle hypertrophy, [...]
Geochemical technique found to be useful in steroid testing
Hydropyrolysis, a geochemical technique used to trace and determine possible oil presence in the ocean bed, is now being developed to be used for steroid anti-doping tests. This process, used to identify chemical structures, is recently being developed and in the process of being refined by a group of researchers from the University of Nottingham. [...]
