Document Summary
Overstretching or tearing of proteins of connective tissue. This is where lactate accumulation may have an effect. Substances or procedures believed to improve physical work capacity, physiological function, or performance. Act as a cns or peripheral nervous system stimulant. Increase storage and or availability of a limiting substrate. Reduce or neutralize performance inhibiting metabolic by products. Formulations can be more androgenic or anabolic. Stacking: using multiple at a time to get every effect. Other drugs used at the end of a cycle to stimulate natural testosterone production. Use is not just in strength athletes. Cystic acne, roid rage, peliosis hepatis (particularly with oral steroids they are worse), increased plasma lipoproteins, tendon weakness. In females: clitoral enlargement, squaring of the jaw, lowering of voice, facial hair. Human growth hormone (gh, hgh, somatotropin, humatrope) Gigantism: abnormal size and growth of body. Acromegaly: enlarged hands, feet and facial features. No unanimity among researchers regarding performance benefits- some may be indirect.
