.
IT’S AVAILABLE WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION
Improper anabolic steroid applications ‘ are defined as a substance or method that has the capacity to increase performance that can be potentially harmful to health. These substances are currently used by US specialists in Endocrinology and metabolic diseases and our friends of physicians in some other branches for medical reasons. In another respect, these drugs and drug-like support products are available without a prescription for easy novelization of muscles and as a performance enhancer, it is recommended and encouraged to be used by unconscious and unauthorized persons, especially teenagers in the adolescent period.
Anabolic steroids are a class of steroid hormones associated with male hormones. It increases Protein synthesis and provides muscle growth. It is related to the development and continuation of masculine traits. It is used for performance enhancement in both medical and sports. Anabolic effects are dose dependent. It is produced mainly in the testicles and in small amounts in the adrenal gland.
Steroid hormones show 2 types of action:
1. Anabolic effects: related to Protein synthesis, increased novelization, increased strength, and increased performance. The anabolic effect stimulates cell growth. It increases Protein synthesis, appetite, bone regeneration and growth, and the production of red blood cells. Novos novos increases the size of muscle fibers (hypertrophy); in this way it increases strength with muscle mass. Reduces the amount of fat in the muscle. Anabolic Novo Novo has the effect of steroids on muscle mass in at least two ways: by increasing Protein production and blocking the action of cortisol and shortening recovery time (reducing muscle destruction).
2. Androgenic effects: development in Turkey and continuation of male characteristics, pubic, chin, upper lip, increased growth of chest hair, change in sound quality, increase in libido, clitoris growth, suppression of natural sex hormones can be listed as;
.
IT INCREASES THE RISK OF DEATH!
The risk of mortality in chronic anabolic steroid users has been reported to be 4.6 times higher than in non-users.
Cardiovascular side effects: most side effects are dose dependent. Blood pressure increase (most common), LDL cholesterol increase and HDL cholesterol decrease, increased risk of KV disease and coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, heart attack (in chronic use) are known KV side effects. Other side effects: acceleration of the development of early baldness, acne (stimulates the sebaceous glands),liver damage and cancer (especially oral anabolic steroids), tendon rupture has been reported to be associated with anabolic steroids. It leads to the development of stiff and less elastic tendons. Anabolic steroids probably lead to structural and biochemical changes in tendons. Most likely, the tendon remains weak because it cannot respond quickly.
Gynecomastia growth of breast tissue in men: it develops as a result of the return of testosterone to estrogen by the aromatase enzyme, temporary infertility (decrease in sperm production) and testicular atrophy develop due to a decrease in natural testosterone levels.
In women, it develops as an increase in body hair, male pattern baldness, thickening of the voice (temporary), clitoromegaly (temporary), temporary deterioration in the menstrual cycle and the impact of fetal development during pregnancy. As behavioral side effects; mental fluctuations, aggression (easy flare-up), mania, depression, withdrawal effects and addiction can be observed. As psychological effects, euphoria, motivational energy, aggression and increased libido can be listed.

WE MUST PREVENT ITS UNCONTROLLED USE
After teaching the harms, doping through training is what needs to be done in the first place. We must prevent the uncontrolled use of these treatment agents by our children and young people, foreigners visa on grounds such as bodybuilding height extension. The Internet and some tabloid information mislead society. It is becoming increasingly difficult to protect society from this erroneous and incomplete information. In order to inform the public about this issue, specialists in Endocrinology and metabolic diseases should be given more coverage in the press. In addition, the administration of these drugs without a prescription should be prevented.
Prof. Doctor continued in the Turkish language, on informing, “recently there has been an increase in the use of protein powder in children of developmental age and parents have complained about this issue, he said. emphasized that these products did not develop a problem in the first years of use, but that many health problems arose in the following periods.”
The main problem here is that such products are taken in the status of food. Because when it is given food status, the Turkey Ministry of Health cannot make any sanctions on this issue.
In addition, there is a situation with these products in Turkey; imagine that one person uses the protein powder of company A, one young person uses the protein powder of Company B, and the other uses the protein powder of company C. All three do the same exercise, but in those who use B and C, novelization is better. The main question here is, “Are there any anabolic steroids in these protein powders?” The general idea of the world is that there are steroids that we don’t know about. As a matter of fact, when we look at it as a doping problem, unfortunately, it was seen that scientists working in steroid labs were dealing with these jobs later on. At the beginning of what is almost chemically produced most often comes steroids.
Every day they produce molecule, and to identify these new molecules, doping units, food-farming units need to constantly improve themselves, and this is not possible. I think we have similar problems, but regardless of the content of each used supplement should be examined very well, and then there should be points in these content that may be negative for the person. Unfortunately, society does not want to hear it and believe it, but years later we will definitely face and even begin to face their health problems. Unfortunately, these people do not have concerns and concerns about the future. We also get a reaction when we make these warnings. However, we will continue to say this because our public duty is to warn people.
Instead of referring patient to neighbourhood gyms, instead, walking is suggested and simple physical exercises. In additional you may get proper support from a nutritionist while visiting Turkey, but unfortunately they face the same problem there.
