Steroids & Addiction: Your Guide to the Risks and Myths

 

A healthy heart pumps blood to the rest of the body, providing muscles and organs with the oxygen needed for peak performance. Testosterone helps red blood cell production through the bone marrow. Low testosterone levels are linked to a variety of cardiovascular risks.

But can testosterone replacement therapy help with heart disease? Study resultsTrusted Sources are mixed. Small studies in the early 2000s found that men with heart disease who underwent testosterone therapy saw only slight improvements. Some were able to increase their walking distance by 33 percent. Another study found that hormone therapy only widened healthy arteries but had no effect on angina pain.

A more recent, larger study of 83,000 men found that men whose testosterone levels returned to normal were 24 percent less likely to have a heart attack and 36 percent less likely to experience a stroke.

What are the 3 types of steroids?
The major classes of steroid hormones, as noted above (with their prominent members and functions), are the Progestogen, Corticosteroids (corticoids), Androgens, and Estrogens.

Progesterone (P4) is an endogenous steroid and progestogen sex hormone involved in the menstrual cyclepregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans and other species.[1][13] It belongs to a group of steroid hormones called the progestogens,[13] and is the major progestogen in the body. Progesterone has a variety of important functions in the body. It is also a crucial metabolic intermediate in the production of other endogenous steroids, including the sex hormones and the corticosteroids, and plays an important role in brain function as a neurosteroid.[14]

In addition to its role as a natural hormone, progesterone is also used as a medication, such as in combination with estrogen for contraception, to reduce the risk of uterine or cervical cancer, in hormone replacement therapy, and in feminizing hormone therapy.[15] It was first prescribed in 1934.[16]

Is progesterone a steroid?
Progesterone is a steroid hormone primarily secreted by the granulosa cells and the corpus luteum in the ovary. During pregnancy, a major source of progesterone also comes from the placenta. Males also produce progesterone in the adrenal gland and testes, as this is a precursor of testosterone.
What is the main function of progesterone?
Progesterone is a hormone released by the corpus luteum in the ovary. It plays important role in the menstrual cycle and in maintaining the early stages of pregnancy. It may also be involved in the growth of certain cancers.
What are the benefits of taking progesterone?
  • Eases anxiety.
  • Promotes memory.
  • Helps to prevent overgrowth of certain types of cells, which can help protect against some cancers including those of the breast or the uterus.
  • Helps to prevent overgrowth of cells of the endometrial lining and prevent endometriosis from forming.
What happens when you take progesterone?
Medications like progesterone may cause abnormal blood clotting. This may cut off the blood supply to the brain, heart, lungs, or eyes and cause serious problems. Call your doctor if you experience any of the symptoms listed above as serious side effects. Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking this medication.
What is normal progesterone?

Progesterone level (ng/mL)

Normal levels are less than 0.20 ng/mL. Keep in mind that results can vary between laboratories. If you’re unsure about your test results, contact your healthcare provider.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticosteroid

Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones. Two main classes of corticosteroids, glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids, are involved in a wide range of physiological processes, including stress responseimmune response, and regulation of inflammationcarbohydrate metabolismprotein catabolism, blood electrolyte levels, and behavior.[1]

Some common naturally occurring steroid hormones are cortisol (C
21H
30O

), corticosterone (C
21H
30O
4
), cortisone (C
21H
28O
5
) and aldosterone (C
21H
28O
5
). (Note that cortisone and aldosterone are isomers.) The main corticosteroids produced by the adrenal cortex are cortisol and aldosterone.[2]

An Androgen (from Greek and-, the stem of the word meaning “man”) is any natural or synthetic steroid hormone that regulates the development and maintenance of male characteristics in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors.[1] This includes the embryological development of the primary male sex organs and the development of male secondary sex characteristics at puberty. Androgens are synthesized in the testes, the ovaries, and the adrenal glands.

Androgens increase in both males and females during puberty.[2] The major androgen in males is testosterone.[3] Dihydrotestosterone(DHT) androstenedione are of equal importance in male development.[3] DHT in utero causes differentiation of the penis, scrotum, and prostate. In adulthood, DHT contributes to balding, prostate growth, and sebaceous gland activity.

Although androgens are commonly thought of only as male sex hormones, females also have them, but at lower levels: they function in libido and sexual arousal. Also, androgens are the precursors to estrogens in both men and women.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_hormone

In general, androgens are considered “male sex hormones”, since they have masculinizing effects, while estrogens and progestogens are considered “female sex hormones”[5] although all types are present in each sex at different levels. Sex steroids include androgens, estrogens, and progestogens. Androgens are generally considered as the male sex hormones because of their masculinizing effects They include androstenediol, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and testosterone

What is the male sex hormone?
The major sex hormone in men is testosterone, which is produced mainly in the testes. The testes are controlled by a small gland in the brain called the pituitary gland, which in turn is controlled by an area of the brain called the hypothalamus.
What do sex hormones do?
What are sex hormones? “Sex hormones” is the colloquial title covering the group of hormones that affect our sexual drive and desire. The purpose of these hormones is to carry messages between your organs and your cells, ultimately keeping your body balanced and functioning optimally.
What are the female sex hormones?
Estrogen is one of the two main sex hormones that women have. The other one is progesterone. Estrogen is responsible for female physical features and reproduction. Men have estrogen, too, but in smaller amounts.
What hormone is released during sex?
Oxytocin is often nicknamed “cuddle hormone” for this reason. Like dopamine, oxytocin is produced by the hypothalamus and released in large quantities during sex, breastfeeding, and childbirth.
What does Oxytocin do to a man?
For men, oxytocin function is less important, but it does have a role to play in moving sperm. It also appears to affect the production of testosterone in the testes. Studies of oxytocin also have found that it is an important chemical messenger that controls some human behaviors and social interactions.
Does kissing release oxytocin?
Kissing causes a chemical reaction in your brain, including a burst of the hormone oxytocin. It’s often referred to as the “love hormone,” because it stirs up feelings of affection and attachment.
What foods increase oxytocin?
Oxytocin, also called “love hormone”, can be found in a different variety of food, especially the one containing Vitamin D, Vitamin C, magnesium, and dietary fats: fatty fish, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, spinach, avocados, and many more!
Does chocolate contain oxytocin?
Endorphins are not the only brain chemicals linked to chocolate consumption. Together with dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, these four neurotransmitters form the quartet that is responsible for our happiness and they are all released when we eat chocolate. … Chocolate can also help boost your memory.
Are there Oxytocin pills?
Synthetic oxytocin, sold under the brand name Pitocin among others, is a medication made from the peptide oxytocin.

In addition to their role as natural hormones, androgens are used as medications; for information on androgens as medications, see the androgen replacement therapy and anabolic steroid articles.

Brain

Circulating levels of androgens can influence human behavior because some neurons are sensitive to steroid hormones. Androgen levels have been implicated in the regulation of human aggression and libido. Indeed, androgens are capable of altering the structure of the brain in several species, including mice, rats, and primates, producing sex differences.[12]

Numerous reports have shown androgens alone are capable of altering the structure of the brain,[13] but identification of which alterations in neuroanatomy stem from androgens or estrogens is difficult, because of their potential for conversion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrogen

Estrogen or oestrogen, is a category of sex hormone responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics. There are three major endogenous estrogens that have estrogenic hormonal activity: estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), and estriol (E3). Estradiol, an estrane, is the most potent and prevalent. Another estrogen called estetrol (E4) is produced only during pregnancy.

Estrogens are synthesized in all vertebrates[1] and some insects.[2] Their presence in both vertebrates and insects suggests that estrogenic sex hormones have an ancient evolutionary history. Quantitatively, estrogens circulate at lower levels than androgens in both men and women.[3] While estrogen levels are significantly lower in males than in females, estrogens nevertheless have important physiological roles in males.[4]

Like all steroid hormones, estrogens readily diffuse across the cell membrane. Once inside the cell, they bind to and activate estrogen receptors (ERs) which in turn modulate the expression of many genes.[5] Additionally, estrogens bind to and activate rapid-signaling membrane estrogen receptors (mERs),[6][7] such as GPER (GPR30).[8]

In addition to their role as natural hormones, estrogens are used as medications, for instance in menopausal hormone therapyhormonal birth control, and feminizing hormone therapy for transgender women and nonbinary people.

Do you keep strength gains from steroids?
“Anabolic steroids produce a permanent increase in users’ capacity for muscle development. In keeping with this, studies show that mice given testosterone acquire new myonuclei that persist long after the steroid use ends.”

Free Testosterone

Testosterone is produced by the adrenal cortex, the testes in men, and the ovaries in women. When it is bound to protein in the blood it is called total testosterone. Testosterone that is not bound to proteins is called free testosterone and is the biologically active form of the hormone. Testing can help identify whether you have low testosterone levels, normal testosterone levels, or high testosterone levels.

Fact: Low testosterone can affect your appearance. Testosterone plays a critical role in developing muscle bulk. Studies say lack of this male hormone may cause decreased muscle mass and decreased facial hair growth. “Low T” can also lead to increased body fat and over-developed breasts in men.

Male hypogonadism is a condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough of the hormone that plays a key role in masculine growth and development during puberty (testosterone) or enough sperm or both. You can be born with male hypogonadism, or it can develop later in life, often from injury or infection.

Does TRT shorten your life?
The cardiovascular issues associated with TRT have been clarified by recent studies showing that therapy associated with clear increases in serum testosterone levels to the normal range is associated with reduced all-cause mortality.
Does higher testosterone mean more sperm?
Sperm production is actually stimulated by hormones other than testosterone. Testosterone is required for sperm production, but the level in the testes where sperm are produced is many times higher than in the blood. Even men with low or borderline T levels may have sufficient T levels for sperm production.
At what age does testosterone drop?
In some men, testosterone levels remain high throughout life, but in most, they begin to decline at about age 40. Unlike the precipitous drop in hormones that women experience at menopause, however, the decline in men is gradual, averaging just over 1% a year.
What happens when a man’s testosterone is low?
If a male has a low level of testosterone, the symptoms can include erectile dysfunction, and reduced bone mass and sex drive. The hormone has many important functions, including the development of the bones and muscles. the deepening of the voice, hair growth, and other factors related to appearance.

How do you fix low testosterone?
Testosterone deficiency can be treated by:
  1. Intramuscular injections, given anywhere from two to 10 weeks apart. 

What time of day is best to inject testosterone?
Serum testosterone concentrations are diurnal (of or during the day). In young men, the concentrations are highest in the morning. Older men tend to have similar but blunted patterns. Clinicians should draw serum testosterone levels between 8:00 am and 11:00 am.
  1. Testosterone gel applied to the skin or inside the nose. AndroGel is one of the most-used medical products to treat Low T. The blockbuster gel is prescribed as a testosterone-replacement drug, mostly to men whose bodies fail to produce sufficient amounts of the male hormone.

yohimbe
saw palmetto

Yohimbe is the name of an evergreen tree found in parts of central and western Africa. The bark of Yohimbe contains a chemical called yohimbine, which is used to make medicine. Yohimbine hydrochloride (Aphrodyne, Yocon) is a form of yohimbine that is a prescription drug in the US.

Yohimbe supplements often list Yohimbe bark extract or yohimbine as the active ingredient. However, some of these products might not provide accurate information about the amount of yohimbine in the supplement. Also, some Yohimbe supplements list yohimbine hydrochloride as an active ingredient. Yohimbe products containing man-made yohimbine hydrochloride as an ingredient are not legal to sell as a dietary supplement in the US.

https://www.livestrong.com/article/206041-what-is-a-safe-dose-for-yohimbe/

Yohimbe is most commonly used for its hallucinogenic effects. It is also used for sexual problems, to boost mood, for athletic performance, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support any use.

No quality research exists on Yohimbe bark, so safe and effective dosages are not clearly established, according to eMedTV. The website suggests beginning with the lowest dosage recommended on the product label. If you experience side effects, you may want to reduce the dosage. If the product does not work effectively, you can increase the dosage, but not more than advised on the label. The usual dose of the drug yohimbine is 15 to 30 mg daily in divided doses, according to the Swedish Medical Center. Some people experience optimal effectiveness at much lower doses, even as low as 5 mg daily. Taking a higher dose of Yohimbe does not necessarily produce better effectiveness, and some individuals will not experience significant benefits for up to three weeks of treatment.

Warning

Yohimbe bark extract can cause many side effects, as noted by the U.S. National Institutes of Health on its MedlinePlus website. They include skin flushing, decreased appetite, dizziness, headache, irritability, nervousness, and insomnia. High doses of the chemical yohimbine can cause serious side effects, some of which could occur if you take too much Yohimbe. This is much less likely than it is with the prescription drug since the yohimbine content of Yohimbe bark extract is generally low. High doses of yohimbine can lead to breathing difficulty, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, painful urination, genital pain, anxiety, agitation, and tremors.

How does it work?

Yohimbe contains a chemical called yohimbine which can increase blood flow and nerve impulses to the penis or vagina. It also helps counteract the sexual side effects of certain medications used for depression.

Clenbuterol

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319927

Clenbuterol is a steroid-like chemical that was initially developed to treat asthma in horses, working by relaxing the airways in the animals’ lungs.

Clenbuterol stimulates both the heart and central nervous system. It has a similar effect on the body as epinephrine and amphetamines.

It is also a beta-2-agonist, which is the opposite of a beta-blocker. While a beta-blocker will reduce the production of epinephrine and noradrenaline, clenbuterol increases it.

This increase will lead to a variety of effects, such as:

  • rapid fat burning
  • excitability
  • nervousness
  • increased energy
  • greater determination

Also, clenbuterol contains dopamine, which is commonly known as the reward hormone. Dopamine is closely associated with addiction. As such, clenbuterol can be highly addictive.

In many countries, clenbuterol is banned from being used in animals that will be consumed by humans.

In 1994, 140 people in Spain were hospitalized after eating meat tainted by clenbuterol. Similarly, in 2006, 336 people in China were poisoned after eating pork that contained it.

Clenbuterol can reduce the amount of potassium naturally occurring in the body. Consequently, those taking it as a drug will often also eat an increased amount of bananas to replace the potassium.

Athletes will often accompany the taking of clenbuterol alongside a diet that is high in protein, moderate in carbohydrates, and low in fat.

What does clenbuterol do to your body?
Clenbuterol is a potent, long-lasting bronchodilator that is prescribed for human use outside of the United States. It is abused generally by bodybuilders and athletes for its ability to increase lean muscle mass and reduce body fat (i.e., repartitioning effects).

This medication is used to help people regain the weight they have lost due to certain medical conditions (such as surgery, chronic infection, trauma, long-term use of corticosteroid medication such as hydrocortisone/prednisone). It is also used to relieve bone pain due to bone loss (osteoporosis). Oxandrolone belongs to a class of drugs known as anabolic steroids. These drugs are similar to male hormones made by the body. Take this medication by mouth usually 2 to 4 times daily or as directed by your doctor.

What schedule is Anavar?
Anavar is a DEA Schedule III controlled substance. Substances in the DEA Schedule III have a potential for abuse less than substances in Schedules I or II and abuse may lead to moderate or low physical dependence or high psychological dependence.

Oxandrolone, sold under the brand names Oxandrin and Anavar, among others, is an androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) medication that is used to help promote weight gain in various situations, to help offset protein catabolism caused by long-term corticosteroid therapy, to support recovery from severe burns, to treat bone pain associated with osteoporosis, to aid in the development of girls with Turner syndrome, and for other indications.[4][5][6] It is taken by mouth.[4]

Side effects of oxandrolone include symptoms of masculinization such as acneincreased hair growthvoice changes, and increased sexual desire.[4] The drug is a synthetic androgen and anabolic steroid hence is an agonist of the androgen receptor (AR), the biological target of androgens such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone.[4][7] It has strong anabolic effects and weak androgenic effects, which give it a mild side effect profile and make it especially suitable for use in women.[4]

Oxandrolone was first described in 1962 and was introduced for medical use in 1964.[4] It is used mostly in the United States.[4][8] In addition to its medical use, oxandrolone is used to improve physique and performance.[4][9] The drug is a controlled substance in many countries, so nonmedical use is generally illicit.[4][10][11][12]

Many bodybuilders and athletes use oxandrolone for its muscle-building effects.[4] It is much more anabolic than androgenic, so women and those seeking less intense steroid regimens use it particularly often.[4] Many also value oxandrolone’s low hepatotoxicity relative to most other orally active AAS.[4]

Powerlifters have also been known to take oxandrolone, due to its ability to significantly increase muscular strength.[19]

Medication

Approved

Flibanserin was the first medication approved by the FDA for the treatment of HSDD in premenopausal women. Its approval was controversial and a systematic review found its benefits to be marginal.[14] The only other medication approved in the US for HSDD in pre-menopausal women is bremelanotide, in 2019.[2]

Off-label

A few studies suggest that the antidepressant, bupropion, can improve sexual function in women who are not depressed if they have HSDD.[15] The same is true for the anxiolyticbuspirone, which is a 5-HT1A receptor agonist similar to flibanserin.[16]

Testosterone supplementation is effective in the short term.[17] However, its long-term safety is unclear.[17]

Is it safe for a woman to take testosterone?
Research shows that the hormone testosterone may improve sexual function in specific groups of women, but data on safety and effectiveness are limited. The long-term safety of testosterone therapy for women also is unknown.

Testosterone therapy is more controversial in females than in males.

Normal total testosterone levels in healthy adult females are 15–70 ng/dl. Low testosterone in females can cause fertility problems, irregular periods, vaginal dryness, and a low sex drive. Despite this, doctors do not often recommend testosterone injections to treat low testosterone in females, as they can have masculinizing effects.

However, doctors may recommend testosterone therapy to help with hypoactive sexual desire disorder in females after menopause. Research has not supported their use for other signs and symptoms that people may experience after menopause, which include anxiety, mood changes, weight gain, and reduced bone density.

Currently, the FDA has not approved any products for testosterone therapy in females. Additionally, in the USA, there are no readily available formulations that provide the recommended treatment dose of 300 micrograms per day for females. As a result, a female will typically need a compounding pharmacy to fill the prescription.

How many milligrams of testosterone should a woman take?
Since the commercially available dosages are too strong for women, female patients typically are treated with testosterone compounded at a dosage of 0.5 to 2 mg per day or ( 0.002 ML ).
What happens when a woman has low testosterone?

Symptoms of low testosterone in women can include:

Trouble sleeping. Overall strength decrease. Muscle tone is reduced. Weight gain, especially around the middle.

How does taking testosterone affect the female body?
Excess testosterone can result in mood symptoms or irritability, bloating, pelvic cramping, or even a return of menstruation. High levels of testosterone also result in increased estrogen levels, as a percentage of all testosterone in the body is converted to estrogen.
What happens if a woman takes a testosterone booster?

Side effects of women taking testosterone

Balding. Deepening of the voice. Excessive hair growth, particularly on the face. Enlargement of the clitoris, a part of the outside of a woman’s genitals.

Does masturbating reduce testosterone?

Many people believe that masturbation affects a man’s testosterone levels, but this is not necessarily true. Masturbation does not seem to have any long-lasting effects on testosterone levels. However, masturbation may have short-term effects on the levels of this hormone.

What are the risks of testosterone therapy?

Prescription testosterone treatments are available as gels, skin patches, and intramuscular injections. Each comes with potential side effects. Patches can irritate the skin. Intramuscular injections may cause mood swings. If you use the gel, don’t share the product with others.

Possible side effects of testosterone therapy include:

  • increased acne
  • fluid retention
  • increased urination
  • breast enlargement
  • decreased testicular size
  • decreased sperm count
  • increased aggressive behaviors

Testosterone treatment is not advised for men with prostate or breast cancer. Additionally, testosterone therapy may worsen sleep apnea in older people.

More on Low Testosterone

Thanks and Credit to John P. Mulhall, MD, and Calendar Bhasin, MD

While the number of men seeking testosterone treatment has tripled over the past decade, many patients who need hormone replacement for a testosterone deficiency are not receiving it.1 When low T occurs because of poor functioning testes or a tumor on the pituitary gland, for example, the result may be hypogonadism.

Recognizing this trend has led to the publication of guidelines for the diagnosis and management of testosterone deficiency in men by the American Urological Association1  (AUA) and an updated best practice recommendation from the Endocrine Society.2

“The use of testosterone therapy has increased dramatically in relatively healthy men without a clear indication of testosterone deficiency (low T), while other men in need of testosterone therapy fail to receive it due to clinician concerns regarding cardiovascular events or the development of prostate cancer,” says John P. Mulhall, MD, director of the Male Sexual and Reproductive Medicine Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, and lead author of the AUA guideline.

“One goal of the AUA guideline is to outline criteria to determine who has a bona fide testosterone deficiency, how to evaluate and determine who should be treated,” he tells EndocrineWeb.

Similarly, the Endocrine Society updated their best practices guidance for testosterone therapy in men with hypogonadism, a form of testosterone deficiency.

These clinical recommendations were prepared in response to a “much higher quality of evidence published in recent years about testosterone deficiency and a wider availability of high-quality assays for measuring testosterone levels, which had been a problematic issue,” said Shalendar Bhasin, MD, professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and director of Men’s Health, Research Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in Boston Massachusetts, who led the work on the Endocrine Society project.

How Does Low Testosterone Differ from a Hormonal Deficiency?

Testosterone—a hormone produced primarily in testicles but also to a lesser extent by the ovaries and adrenal cortex—is essential for a variety of physical, cognitive, sexual, and metabolic functions in men. This sex hormone usually peaks in adolescence and early adulthood. As men age, the ability to produce testosterone begins to decline such that testosterone levels begin to drop about 1 to 3 percent a year beginning around age 40 years.

This natural decline, however, does not imply that a man is testosterone deficient or a candidate for testosterone therapy.1,2 A deficiency in this hormone only occurs in cases where there is a low level of testosterone along with specific symptoms or signs.

“Testosterone deficiency is a very specific clinical condition that is defined by the presence of a set of specific signs and symptoms that occur as a result of decreased production of testosterone by the testes in men,” says Dr. Bhasin. “It’s extremely important that testosterone is used only as Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for this condition.

“What’s been happening over the past couple of years is that there has been a rise in off-label use of testosterone to treat a variety of age-related conditions and symptoms that don’t qualify as a testosterone deficiency,” he says.

Diagnosing and Testing for Hypogonadism

Outside of age, there are “myriad causes for testosterone deficiency,” Dr. Mulhall adds. “They include testicular dysfunction, chemotherapy or radiation to testes, or loss of the testes,” he said. Then there are secondary testosterone deficiencies, genetic disorders, Kleinfelter syndrome, pituitary disorders, steroid use, opioid use, diabetes, and obesity.

While testosterone supplementation is being used to treat low hypoactive sexual desire, a type of sexual dysfunction, in women, “we don’t know if it’s a bona fide condition,” says Dr. Bhasin. It’s been plausible but remains only a hypothesis that hasn’t been proven definitively.

According to the recommendations issued by both the Endocrine Society and AUA,1,2 before a diagnosis of testosterone deficiency can be made, patients must demonstrate both a low testosterone levels and show signs and/or symptoms of the condition.

Signs and Symptoms Signaling a Problem:2,3

Red flag symptoms:

  • Low sex drive
  • Difficulty with erection
  • Low sperm count
  • Unexplained loss of hair
  • Hot flashes
  • Low bone density

Additional signs:

  • Testicular atrophy (changes in testes)
  • Diminished lean muscle mass
  • Increased body fat
  • Elevated hemoglobin A1c
  • Osteopenia or low trauma bone fracture
  • Problems sleeping (insomnia)
  • Fatigue
  • Difficulty concentrating, lack of motivation, depression

When and How Should a Low Testosterone be Treated?

“Testosterone replacement shouldn’t be used to treat a naturally occurring, age-related decline in this hormone or simply for a low T number,” says Dr. Bhasin, “but if a man has a testosterone deficiency or classical hypogonadism, the benefits of treating the condition with testosterone is favorable and outweighs any risks.”

According to Dr. Bhasin, over the last two to three years there has been greater availability of high-quality lab providing good results for testosterone levels, which until recently has been a problem when trying to make a firm diagnosis.

To confirm the existence of low testosterone requiring treatment, the patient should have two separate blood tests on nonconsecutive days in the early morning (testosterone levels fluctuate during the day and are highest in the early hours) that are analyzed by reliable laboratories certified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Bhasin told EndocrineWeb.

A normal range for testosterone levels is 300 ng/dL to 1,000 ng/dL, with the Endocrine Society considering low testosterone below 263 ng/dL, says Dr. Bhasin.

Your doctors should also determine if you (your spouse) show signs or symptoms of a testosterone deficiency. One problem with the symptoms for testosterone deficiency is many are “incredibly nonspecific” Dr. Mulhall cautions, which is why getting accurate testosterone levels is vital.

 “If a man had a testosterone level less than 220 and shows signs of osteopenia, the testosterone is low because the patient has bone density loss,” says Dr. Mulhall, “but you can’t just go on the number alone.”

Monitoring, Managing, and Follow-Up Care

Both sets of guidelines stress the importance of monitoring T levels during treatment to make sure the hormone falls within the desired range and to check the status of other health conditions such as sex, heart, and bone health.  

“While the number of men using testosterone has increased, it’s concerning that about 20 to 25 percent of men who go on testosterone never get their levels double checked before treatment, and a percentage of men who go on testosterone who don’t get their levels checked at all while they’re on the treatment,” says Dr. Mulhall.

There are a number of health reasons to monitor testosterone treatments. For example, low testosterone is a risk factor for cardiovascular events, but “giving a patient [supplemental] testosterone cannot be said to definitively raise or lower the risk for cardiovascular issues,” Dr. Mulhall says.

While testosterone replacement therapy does not cause prostate cancer, Dr. Bhasin notes that increasing testosterone could raise PSA levels, which may lead to an increased risk for prostate cancer, particularly in the 30% of men over 70 years of age who may have an early-stage prostate that has not yet become detectable.4

“One important goal of monitoring testosterone levels is to minimize the risk of unnecessary biopsies,” he adds.

Know the Health Warnings of T Supplementation 

When it comes to treatment, there are a variety of forms of testosterone—from gels to adhesive pellets to injections—that can be administered to men.

However, you should be aware that patients who use transdermal gels to restore normal T levels should be careful to avoid any risk of transferring testosterone gels to women and children.4 Covering the shoulders or upper arms where the gel has been applied is sufficient to protect against accidental exposure of this hormone to others.

From a reproductive standpoint, both professional organization guidelines note that men who are trying to conceive should not receive testosterone treatments because it impairs sperm production.

“Even when testosterone replacement is stopped, there will be a period of time during which it will take sperm production a while to recover,” says Dr. Mulhall.

“There’s no magic to diagnosing or treating testosterone deficiency,” says Bhasin. “Like any other condition it’s really important to have accurate measurements and be rigorous in the diagnosis and a major concern has been starting treatments without an appropriate diagnosis.

Do testosterone boosters make your balls smaller?
If testosterone is taken by itself, it interrupts the connection between the brain and testicles. The testes will stop producing testosterone and over time will begin to shrink. In some cases, the testicles will shrivel up to the size of raisins. hCG helps keep them the right size during testosterone therapy.

What is Test Propionate?

https://go.drugbank.com/drugs/DB01420

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testosterone_propionate

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/nursing-and-health-professions/testosterone-propionate

Testosterone propionate is a slow-release anabolic steroid no longer used commonly for the treatment of androgen deficiency or promotion of anabolic effects on muscles.

Testosterone propionate is a slower-releasing anabolic steroid with a short half-life. This characteristic allows the user to run short testosterone propionate cycles of 8-10 weeks as optimal peak blood plasma levels are achieved at 2-4 weeks.4 It is a synthetic androstane steroid derivative of testosterone in the form of 17β propionate ester of testosterone.2 Testosterone propionate was developed initially by Watson labs, and FDA approved on February 5, 1974. Currently, this drug has been discontinued in humans, but the vet application is still available as an OTC.5

What is Deca, Durabolin, Nandrolone Decanoate?

 

Nandrolone decanoate is used for physique- and performance-enhancing purposes by competitive athletesbodybuilders, and powerlifters.[3] It is consumed by bodybuilders as per 8-12 weeks bulking cycles with some form of Testosterone as a base[34] because, according to the studies: if consumed solo (i.e., without a base); it shuts down the natural production of Testosterone by altering blood-testis barrier components.[35] Despite this fact, Nandrolone decanoate is one of the most popular injectable AAS worldwide, and nandrolone esters have been said to be the most popular AAS used by bodybuilders and in sports.[3][17] This is in part due to the high ratio of anabolic to androgenic effects of nandrolone and its weak propensity for androgenic and estrogenic side effects.

https://go.drugbank.com/drugs/DB08804

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nandrolone

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6826677/

Deca Durabolin is a very famous injectable anabolic steroid contained the steroidal hormone Nandrolone and is joined to the enormous Decanoate ester. The Nandrolone hormone initially showed up in 1960 under the exchange name Deca Durabolin. From that point forward various Nandrolone Decanoate adaptations turned out in the market, however, Deca Durabolin remains the most perceived. This steroid is one of the most usually utilized anabolic steroids by the two jocks and execution competitors. As a Nandrolone base, Deca Durabolin is joined to the huge Decanoate ester, which controls the hormone’s discharging action backing it off immensely. This permits the person to utilize the Nandrolone hormone without the requirement for visit infusions. Deca Durabolin conveys a moderately strong anabolic rating, somewhat more noteworthy than testosterone; be that as it may, its complete androgenic movement is a lot lower than testosterone.

Right Amount of Dosage of Deca Durabolin

The ideal dose is somewhere in the range of 200 and 600 mg/week. ( 0.6 ML ) Research has indicated that the best outcomes can be gotten with the admission of 2 mg/pound body weight. The anabolic and resulting development effect of Deca Durabolin in the scope of around 200 to 600 mg/week, increments proportionately to the dosage increment.

If in excess of 600 mg/week is regulated, one beginning seeing the negative effects. Also, at a dosage level over 600 mg/week, the anabolic effect no longer expands proportionately to the dosage increment, so that even 1000 mg/week doesn’t ensure fundamentally preferred outcomes over 600 mg/week!

Most male competitors experience great outcomes by taking 400 mg/week. Steroid novices typically need just 200 mg/week.

Stacking Deca Durabolin with Other Steroids

Deca is an incredible steroid for muscle development and can be joined with numerous different steroids. Deca Durabolin consolidates well for muscle development with Dianabol (D-Bol) and Testoviron Depot. The celebrated Dianabol (D-Bol)/Deca stack brings about fast and solid addition in muscle mass. Most competitors generally take 15-40 mg Dianabol (D-Bol)/day and 200-400 mg  or ( 0.4 ML ) Deca/week. Quicker outcomes can be accomplished with 400 mg Deca/week and 500 mg Sustanon/week. Competitors report a colossal increase in quality and muscle mass when taking 400 mg Deca/week, 500 mg Sustanon/week, and 30 mg Dianabol (D-Bol)/day.

It is given by injection into a muscle once every week. Although it was widely used in the past, the drug has mostly been discontinued and hence is now mostly no longer available.

Side effects of NPP include symptoms of masculinization like acneincreased hair growthvoice changes, and increased sexual desire.[3] The drug is a synthetic androgen and anabolic steroid and hence is an agonist of the androgen receptor (AR), the biological target of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).[3][12] It has strong anabolic effects and weak androgenic effects, which give it a mild side effect profile and make it especially suitable for use in women and children.[3][12][13] NPP is a nandrolone ester and a long-lasting prodrug of nandrolone in the body.[3]

NPP was first described in 1957 and was introduced for medical use in 1959.[3] It was the first nandrolone ester to be introduced, followed by nandrolone decanoate in 1962, and has been one of the most widely used nandrolone esters.[3][14] However, in more recent times, the drug has been largely superseded by nandrolone decanoate, which is longer-acting and more convenient to use.[3][11] In addition to its medical use, NPP is used to improve physique and performance.[3] The drug is a controlled substance in many countries and so non-medical use is generally illicit.[3]

What does Tren steroid do?
Trenbolone is a steroid used by veterinarians on livestock to increase muscle growth and appetite (17, 18). Because these drugs have remarkable effects on bulking muscle mass and burning fats, illicit use of them has been increased among bodybuilders.
How much testosterone should I inject to build muscle?
In general, the dosage is 50–400 mg injected into your muscle every 2–4 weeks. Dosage increases: Your doctor may adjust your dosage based on your testosterone blood levels, response to treatment, and side effects. Maximum dosage: 400 mg injected into your muscle every 2 weeks.
What is Tren made of?
Chemistry. Trenbolone, also known as 19-nor-δ9,11-testosterone or as extra-4,9,11-trien-17β-ol-3-one, is a synthetic estrane steroid and a derivative of nandrolone (19-nortestosterone). It is specifically Nandrolone with two additional double bonds in the steroid nucleus.
Why is Tren so powerful?
Trenbolone acetate also has the ability to increase red blood cell count. With a larger amount of red blood cells, blood oxygenation is enhanced. This allows for enhanced muscular endurance and therefore promotes a faster rate of recovery. Trenbolone acetate is capable of inhibiting glucocorticoids such as cortisol.

Tren 100  Tren Ace, Tren Enanthate

Trenbolone acetate was never approved for use in humans and therefore guidelines for human consumption do not exist.[5] However, athletes and bodybuilders have been using trenbolone acetate as a physique- and performance-enhancing drug for decades. There are a large number of benefits as a bodybuilder through using trenbolone acetate as an AAS. Unlike testosterone, trenbolone acetate does not cause any fluid retention while gaining muscle mass.[11] This allows bodybuilders to appear leaner, and this is why it is more commonly used whilst preparing for competitive events. Trenbolone acetate does not convert into an estrogenic metabolite,[11] and this results in a lack of estrogenic side effects.[5] Trenbolone enanthate is also a very commonly used AAS and lasts much longer than trenbolone acetate with intramuscular injection.[5

SUSTANON

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5700702/

Sustanon is used to treat confirmed testosterone deficiency in males. The active substances of Sustanon are turned into testosterone by your body. Testosterone is the natural male hormone known as androgen. In men, testosterone produced by the testicles. Sustanon (Su) is an oil-based injectable anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) typically containing four different testosterone esters (testosterone propionate, testosterone phenylpropionate, testosterone isocaproate, and testosterone decanoate), which provides a continuous release of testosterone into the blood and produces a stable testosterone level for a prolonged period extending for 3–4 weeks.

AASs are a group of synthetic compounds structurally related to testosterone, which are pharmacologically important for the treatment of hypogonadism, impotence, delayed puberty, muscle wasting, diaphragm atrophy, osteoporosis, types of anemia, endometriosis and fibrocystic breast disease, alcohol hepatitis, wound and burn healings, and finally, renal failure []. In addition to their therapeutic uses, AASs are also taken in high doses by athletes, bodybuilders, and youths to enhance muscle mass or physical endurance []. Uncontrolled usage of AASs may lead to serious side effects, such as cardiovascular disorder (particularly enlargement of the left ventricle), which can lead to sudden death, acute hepatitis and jaundice, testicular dysfunction, which leads to infertility, hypertension, and behavioral disorders []. Abusing AAS by many bodybuilders, athletes, and the youth is a serious health phenomenon that has recently increased rapidly [].

What is hCG?

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is sometimes called “the pregnancy hormone” because of its important role in maintaining pregnancy.

Pregnancy tests check hCG levels in the urine or blood to determine if a person is pregnant or not.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also approved hCG injections to treat specific medical conditions in both women and men.

In women, hCG injections are FDA approved to help treat infertility.

In men, hCG injections are FDA approved for a type of hypogonadism in which the body doesn’t adequately stimulate the gonads to produce the sex hormone testosterone.

What does HCG do to your body?
hCG is a protein-based hormone that the body produces during pregnancy. It helps maintain the production of important hormones such as progesterone to support the healthy growth of the uterus and fetus (9, 10 ). After the first 3 three months of pregnancy, blood levels of hCG decrease.
Is HCG being banned?
Human chorionic gonadotropin, or HCG, is one of these drugs that will now be deemed a biologic product. This means that starting on March 23, 2020, pharmacies will no longer be able to compound with HCG, and we will be retiring all PCCA formulas that include it at that time.
What is hCG used for in men?

There are a variety of reasons why a doctor might prescribe hCG to a man.

To help address hypogonadism

In men, doctors prescribe hCG to help address the symptoms of hypogonadism, such as low testosterone and infertility. hCG can help the body increase its production of testosterone and sperm, which can help reduce infertility.

To improve testosterone deficiency

Injections of hCG are also sometimes used as an alternative to testosterone products in men with testosterone deficiency.

Testosterone deficiency is defined as testosterone blood levels less than 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) along with symptoms of low testosterone. These include:

  • fatigue
  • stress
  • a low sex drive
  • depressed mood

According to the American Urological Association, hCG is appropriate for those men with testosterone deficiency who also desire to maintain fertility.

Testosterone products boost levels of the hormone in the body but can have the side effects of shrinking the gonads, altering sexual function, and causing infertility.

hCG can help increase:

  • gonad size
  • testosterone levels
  • fertility

Some doctors believe that using testosterone along with hCG may help improve symptoms of testosterone deficiency while preventing some of testosterone’s side effects.

To improve sexual function

hCG may also help improve sexual function in men who don’t experience improvement while on testosterone.

To reverse steroid side effects

Bodybuilders who take anabolic steroids such as testosterone also sometimes use hCG to help prevent or reverse some of the side effects steroids cause, such as gonad shrinkage and infertility.

How does it work to increase testosterone?

In men, hCG acts like luteinizing hormone (LH). LH stimulates Leydig cells in the testicles, which results in the production of testosterone.

LH also stimulates the production of sperm within structures in the testicles called seminiferous tubules.

As hCG stimulates the testicles to produce testosterone and sperm, the testicles grow in size over time.

What is Green Top GH (Somatropin)?

Growth Hormone Test Kit

For HGH injection, you must use Ultra-Fine pen needles, either 29 gauge, 30 gauge, or 31 gauge x 0,6-0,8 mm

How many IU is in 1 mg of HGH?
Norditropin contains the identical sequence of 191 amino acids constituting the naturally occurring pituitary human growth hormone with a molecular weight of about 22,000 Daltons. ATC: H 01 AC 01. 1 mg of somatropin corresponds to 3 IU (International Units) of somatropin.
Where do you give growth hormone shots?
HGH should always be injected subcutaneously, i.e., just below the skin and into the fatty tissue. The best sites are the stomach, deltoid, and thigh. Simply pinch along the skin and inject the hormone into the roll of fat.

GH is a single-chain protein made of 191 amino acids with a molecular weight of approximately 22 kDa (Kilo Daltons). It is released into the bloodstream by the somatotrope cells of the anterior pituitary gland. Initially, it was taken from human pituitary glands, however, in 1985, biosynthetic HH replaced this earlier version.

So what is the optimal dose of HGH one should take to attain its benefits? Ali: “To get the full effect of HGH, timing and amount are crucial. Needless to say, the period is taken and consistency is more important than the total amount, as taking a 200 IU kit of HGH over 50 days (at 4 IU a day) is more efficient than taking the same 200 IU over a period of 25 days (at 8 IU a day).”

What is somatropin used for?
SOMATROPIN (soe ma TROE pin) is a man-made growth hormone. Growth hormone helps children grow taller and helps adults and children grow muscle. It is used to treat many conditions of low growth hormone levels, growth failure, and short stature.
Is somatropin the same as HGH?
Somatropin is identical to the endogenous pituitary-derived hGH, whereas somatrem has an extra amino acid on the N-terminus. Both synthetic forms have similar biological actions and potencies as the endogenous HGH polypeptide
How long does it take for somatropin to work?
If this medicine is used for weight loss/muscle wasting, it may take up to 2 weeks to notice the effects of the drug. Do not use more of this medication than prescribed or use it more often since the risk of side effects will be increased.

Does sterile water go bad?
Sterile Water for Injection is given an expiration date by the FDA based on how long the product is expected to maintain sterility (“shelf life”). … Therefore it is safe to continue to use the Sterile Water for Injection that is packaged with Recombinant until the expiration date of the Recombinant.
Peptides
Peptides stimulate the release of human growth hormone, which has an important role in muscle and bone growth. Peptides have become increasingly popular among professional and amateur athletes as they are hard to detect due to how quickly they are absorbed by the body.
What do peptides do for athletes?
Peptides are taken by many individuals to increase energy, burn fat, build muscle and improve athletic ability. They’re different from steroids in that they simply boost the levels of naturally occurring hormones in the body, to provide aid on top of an active lifestyle.
Why are peptide hormones used in sport?

Growth hormone, which is highly anabolic, increases skeletal muscle mass and reduces body fat and therefore is used especially by strength and power sports athletes.
Are Peptides better than HGH?
Because peptides have the ability to boost your body’s own natural growth hormone production, they are rapidly replacing traditional Human Growth Hormone therapy. Little Fact For You: There are currently over 60 FDA-approved peptides. In fact, insulin was the first peptide approved in the US.
Can I mix peptides?
Having said that, if you have previously combined peptides with acids and have not experienced any negative side effects or discoloration, you may continue to combine the two products as so as the combination does not pose any potential harm.
Do peptides need to be refrigerated?
When peptides are received, ensure they are kept in a cool, dark place. For best preservation, store them under refrigeration at 4°C or colder, away from bright light. Dry peptides are stable at room temperature for days to weeks, but for long-term storage, -20°C is preferred.
How do you dilute peptides?
If the overall charge of the peptide is positive, try to dissolve the peptide in water. If the peptide cannot be dissolved, try 10% to 30% acetic acid solution. If the peptide still does not dissolve, add TFA (< 50 μl) to solubilize the peptide and dilute to the desired concentration.
What are the benefits of using peptides?
Benefits of peptides
  • Improved skin barrier.
  • Reduced wrinkles. Collagen can plump skin and lips, and when skin is firmer and plumper, wrinkles and fine lines will be less visible.
  • More elastic skin. …
  • Eases inflammation. …
  • Can help clear breakouts.

Peptides (from Greek language πεπτός, peptós “digested”; derived from πέσσειν, péssein “to digest”) are short chains of between two and fifty amino acids, linked by peptide bonds.[1][2] Chains of fewer than ten or fifteen amino acids are called oligopeptides and include dipeptidestripeptides, and tetrapeptides.

polypeptide is a long, continuous, unbranched peptide chain of up to approximately fifty amino acids.[3] Hence, peptides fall under the broad chemical classes of biological polymers and oligomers, alongside nucleic acidsoligosaccharidespolysaccharides, and others.

A polypeptide that contains more than approximately fifty amino acids is known as a protein.[3][4][5] Proteins consist of one or more polypeptides arranged in a biologically functional way, often bound to ligands such as coenzymes and cofactors, or to another protein or other macromolecules such as DNA or RNA, or too complex macromolecular assemblies.[6]

Amino acids that have been incorporated into peptides are termed residues. A water molecule is released during the formation of each amide bond.[7] All peptides except cyclic peptides have an N-terminal (amine group) and C-terminal (carboxyl group) residue at the end of the peptide (as shown for the tetrapeptide in the image).

A peptide is a short-chain made up of two or more amino acids. The amino acids are linked by a chemical bond called a peptide bond. When organized in complex structures (typically consisting of 50 or more amino acids), peptides then become proteins. Peptides have several functions in the body. They are also the basis of various medications.

Are peptides or retinol better?
Stevenson and Dr. González agree that peptides seem to be less irritating than retinoids, which may make them a good antiaging choice for people with sensitive skin. But if you already use and get antiaging benefits from a retinoid, you don’t necessarily need to try peptides.
What are examples of retinoids?
What Are Examples of Retinoids? Tretinoin, retinyl palmitate, retinaldehyde, isotretinoin, and tazarotene are examples of retinoids, according to UW Health.
What are retinoids used for?
Retinoids reduce fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen. They also stimulate the production of new blood vessels in the skin, which improves skin color. Additional benefits include fading age spots and softening rough patches of skin.
What is retinoid vs retinol?
Essentially, retinol is just a specific type of retinoid. Over-the-counter (OTC) products usually contain retinol, which is a weaker form, while “retinoids” usually refer to stronger, prescription-level drugs like tretinoin (the generic name for Retin-A), tazarotene, and adapalene.
At what age should you start using retinol?

Begin in Your Mid ’20s or Early ’30s

“Your mid-twenties are a great time to start using retinol,” says Ellen Marmur, M.D. “Many patients who have used it for years swear by it.”

What are the side effects of retinol?
First-time retinol users have reported irritation, including redness, dryness, and peeling. If you use too high a strength or apply retinol more frequently than you should, you may experience further irritation, like itchiness and scaly patches.
Which is better retinol or tretinoin?
Tretinoin is retinoic acid. Because you don’t have to wait for the skin to convert it (to retinoic acid), Retin-A works faster and is more powerful than retinol products. You may see improvement in six to eight weeks.
Because peptides have the ability to boost your body’s own natural growth hormone production, they are rapidly replacing traditional Human Growth Hormone therapy. Little Fact For You: There are currently over 60 FDA-approved peptides. In fact, insulin was the first peptide approved in the US. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that occur naturally in foods and your body. Manufacturers can isolate them from natural sources or make them artificially. You can take these supplements orally or inject them directly into your body. Peptides can engage with and activate various receptors throughout the body. This promotes the release of hormones and other messaging compounds that may influence your health, body composition, and exercise performance, and recovery.
HGH is a hormone that the pituitary gland secretes. It can help enhance muscle growth and promote the loss of body fat.
Growth hormone secretagogues (GHS) are a group of peptides that attract particular interest among bodybuilders because they can stimulate the production and release of human growth hormone (HGH).
What brand of HGH is best?
The best brands of HGH injections are Genotropin, Humatrope, Norditropin, Omnitrope, Saizen, and Zomacton.
Which HGH is best for bodybuilding?
HGH-X2 is a great legal alternative to Somatropin. According to the manufacturer, HGH-X2 can be used for improved fat burning, faster lean muscle gains, improved recovery, and cutting cycles. HGH-X2 works by triggering the pituitary gland to produce greater amounts of human growth hormone.
Does HGH X2 really work?
According to manufacturers, HGH X2 is completely safe and legal. It works naturally to induce the production of growth hormone in the body so that users attain lean muscle mass and increased strength.
Is HGH X2 legal?
HGH supplements are legal for use in adults. However, when taking an HGH supplement, it’s important to only take it as recommended. Taking too high or too low of dosage won’t offer the results you want. HGH injections must be prescribed by a doctor, along with any product that contains actual human growth hormone.
When should I take HGH-X2?
The recommended dose for adults is two pills per day. You should take both of these in the morning, preferably around 20 minutes before your first meal. You should continue to take the supplement pills for two months to get your desired results. Most reviews report seeing results from HGH-X2 within 2 months.
What is the best HGH?
HyperGH 14X is the best HGH supplement for muscle growth and athletic performance. HyperGH 14X is another HGH supplement that offers both pills and an oral spray, but rather than focusing on anti-aging benefits, this product is all about helping you gain muscle mass.

HGH * Lose fat, gain muscle * Increase energy level * Increase immune function * Enhance sexual performance * Increase cardiac output * Improve skin elasticity * Remove wrinkles * Eliminate cellulite * Improve vision * Increase memory retention * Improve the quality of sleep * Increase exercise performance * Lower blood pressure * Improve cholesterol profile * Increase bone mass * Quicken wound healing Growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone. It stimulates growth and cell reproduction in humans and other animals. It is a 191-amino acid, single-chain polypeptide hormone which is synthesized, stored, and secreted by the somatotroph cells within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland. Somatotrophin refers to the growth hormone produced natively in animals, the term refers to growth hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology and is abbreviated “rhGH” in humans. GH can be used to treat conditions that produce short stature but are not related to deficiencies in GH, though results are not as dramatic when compared to short stature solely due to deficiency of GH. Examples of other causes of shortness often treated with GH are Turner syndrome, chronic renal failure, Prader-Willi syndrome, intrauterine growth retardation, and severe idiopathic short stature. Higher (“pharmacologic”) doses are required to produce significant acceleration of growth in these conditions, producing blood levels well above physiologic. Despite the higher doses, side effects during treatment are rare and vary little according to the condition being treated. GH treatment improves muscle strength and slightly reduces body fat in Prader-Willi syndrome, which are significant concerns beyond the need to increase height. GH is also useful in maintaining muscle mass in wasting due to AIDS. GH can also be used in patients with short bowel syndrome to lessen the requirement for intravenous total parenteral nutrition.
