Pharmaceutical treatment of male-pattern hair loss exploits this observation through inhibition of 5α-reductase type 2 with finasteride (74). These can also be effective and demonstrate a lower frequency and severity of treatment-related side effects (71). In clinical practice, dosages of 0.5–1.0 mg/kg bodyweight daily are usually prescribed.

Theories for the dissociation include differences between AAS in terms of their intracellular metabolism, functional selectivity (differential recruitment of coactivators), and non-genomic mechanisms (i.e., signaling through non-AR membrane androgen receptors, or mARs). This dose is sufficient to significantly improve lean muscle mass relative to placebo even in subjects that did not exercise at all. A randomized controlled trial demonstrated, however, that even in novice athletes a 10-week strength training program accompanied by testosterone enanthate at 600 mg/week may improve strength more than training alone does.
A study conducted in 1993 by the Canadian Centre for Drug-Free Sport found that nearly 83,000 Canadians between the ages of 11 and 18 use steroids. This was related to the subsequent discovery of a single androgen receptor (AR) mediating the effects of AAS in both muscle and reproductive tissue. Olympic Team physician John Ziegler worked with synthetic chemists to develop an AAS with reduced androgenic effects. The development of muscle-building properties of testosterone was pursued in the 1940s, in the Soviet Union and in Eastern Bloc countries such as East Germany, where steroid programs were used to enhance the performance of Olympic and other amateur weight lifters. The isolation of gonadal steroids can be traced back to 1931, when Adolf Butenandt, a chemist in Marburg, purified 15 milligrams of the male hormone androstenone from tens of thousands of litres of urine. This results in increased potency and effectiveness of these AAS as antispermatogenic agents and male contraceptives (or, put in another way, increased potency and effectiveness in producing azoospermia and reversible male infertility).
The rate at which this occurs strongly depends on the carboxylic acid group that is attached onto the parent molecule at carbon 17 of the steroid nucleus. After injection, an oil depot forms inside the muscle tissue and spreads along the muscle fibers – seemingly squeezed between them – forming an elongated shape (3). Aromatic compounds such as benzoyl benzoate (BB) or benzyl alcohol (BA) are often added as excipients for their bacteriostatic properties and to increase the oil solubility of AAS. It remains debatable whether or not physicians should medically target unwanted effects of AAS use. This review therefore provides a comprehensive overview of this class of hormones’ basic pharmacology and side effects.
AAS were added to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act in the Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990. In Canada, researchers have concluded that steroid use among student athletes is extremely widespread. Besides AAS, Handelsman has criticized the term \"selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM)\" and claims about these agents as well. Relatedly, Handelsman exclusively uses the term \"androgen\" to refer to these agents in his publications.
While it is hard to estimate their impact on CVD risk, one could attempt to quantify it by looking at the – well-researched – effects of blood pressure-lowering medication. The detrimental effects of these seemingly small increases in blood pressure should not be underestimated. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure increased by 7 and 3 mmHg, respectively, during AAS use. Although insufficient data are available, it seems reasonable to assume that very high levels of hematocrit (exceeding 55–60%) might lead to substantially greater risk increases than just discussed. In young men, hemoglobin levels increase by 1.4 g/dL after 20 weeks of 600 mg weekly testosterone enanthate administration (15). Erythrocytosis, or polycythemia, an increase in blood hematocrit or hemoglobin levels, is a common side effect of AAS use, even on replacement dosages.
Risk estimation using algorithms such as SCORE2 might underestimate risk because certain side effects of AAS use, such as the detrimental changes to cardiac structure and function they elicit, could act as risk modifiers. Indeed, in a cross-sectional study comparing AAS users with nonusers, a higher coronary artery plaque volume was found in the former, and all angiographic measures of coronary pathology showed a strong association with lifetime duration of use (150). As with other side effects, some AAS users self-medicate to mitigate this unfavorable shift in lipid profile. Finally, in the HAARLEM study Lp(a) decreased by almost 50% at the end of an AAS cycle and returned to baseline 3 months after cessation of use (46). In the same publication, a second nonblinded trial is described in which AAS users self-administer their own cycle.
Perhaps the strongest data supporting an AAS-induced increase in blood pressure comes from the HAARLEM study, which enrolled 100 AAS users (46). The HAARLEM study did find a small but significant increase in PSA levels at the end of an AAS cycle compared with baseline (from 0.71 μg/L to 0.93 μg/L) (39). In the HAARLEM study, self-reported alopecia increased from 2% at baseline to 12% at the end of the cycle (39). In the HAARLEM study, the prevalence of self-reported acne increased from 10% at the start of a cycle to 52% at the end, whereas visual examination by a physician showed a smaller increase from 13% to 29% (39). Conversely, administration of testosterone to both adult female and male subjects increases sebum production (61, 62). While low-dose aspirin use does not decrease hematocrit levels, it does function as an anticoagulant – purportedly negating an increased thrombosis risk.
