“…Steroids are often used for rehabilitation purposes or to gain a competitive edge (Rogerson et al, 2007;Strauss 1990Total 1990 QUICK et al, 1985). The former is under the direction of a medical doctor whereas the latter is not.…”

“…Each news broadcast was coded to determine whether the news story addressed barriers of steroid use (SA = .93, K B & P = .86). Barriers were grouped into six subcategories: health costs, issues of illegality, drug testing, financial expenses of purchasing steroids, fines for steroid usage, and suspension for steroid usage (Denham, 2004b;Wilson & Schmidt, 2007) (Rogerson et al, 2007;Strauss et al, 1985). …”

“…The side effects of anabolic steroids on the physiology and function of the reproductive system have been proved [3]. The side effects of steroids on the histology of testis [4], prostate [5], ovary, and uterus [6][7], spermatogenesis [8], genitalia malformation, and ovarian cyclical activity [1,[9][10][11] have also been shown. Ovarian and uterine histology and follicular score have been investigated after the ND treatment [6,7]; however, quantitative aspects of the ovary and oocytes have received little attention.…”

Changes in the number and size of oocytes can lead to fertilization problems. The present study aimed to evaluate the number, volume, and surface area of oocytes in healthy as well as nandrolone decanoate-treated (ND) mice using stereological methods. Five control mice received vehicle, and five ND-treated mice received ND. Using the 'isotropic Cavalieri' design', the ovary was sectioned. The volume of the ovary (cortex and medulla) was estimated. The oocytes' volume and surface area were estimated using the invariator. The number of the oocytes was estimated using an optical disector. The volumes of the ovary, cortex, and medulla decreased ~50% in the ND-treated mice. The mean number (coefficient of variation) of preantral, antral, and atretic oocytes in the control ovary were 1,690 (0.29), 2,100 (0.52), and 3,900 (0.2), respectively, which decreased ~54%, ~87%, and ~91%, respectively in the ND-treated animals. The mean volume (coefficient of variation) of the preantral, antral, and atretic oocytes were 86,000 (0.27), 110,000 (0.48), and 27,000 (0.33) mm 3 , respectively. The mean surface area (coefficient of variation) of the three types of oocytes were 9,000 (0.24), 9,900 (0.28), and 4,700 (0.21) mm 2 , respectively. These parameters remained unchanged in the ND-treated mice. ND induces reduction in the number of oocytes, but not in the volume or the surface area.

“…2,3 National attention 4 focused on steroid use in adolescent girls when it became a topic discussed during the 2005 congressional hearings on drug use in sports. 5 Previous associations with female anabolic steroid use have been limited to older women, [6][7][8] and most reports of mature women taking anabolic steroids have related the use to competitive athletics and to bodybuilding. [6][7][8][9] Using the nationally representative 2003 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System 10 data set, we examined the characteristics of girls reporting anabolic steroid use.…”

Objective: To determine the characteristics of female US high school students reporting anabolic steroid use.Design: Cross-sectional assessment using the 2003 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention national schoolbased Youth Risk Behavior Survey database.Setting: Nationally representative sample of US high schools.Participants: Female students in grades 9 through 12 (n=7544). (OR, 7.54; 95% CI,, have had sexual intercourse before age 13 years (OR, 2.90; 95% CI, 1.58-5.33), and have had feelings of sadness or hopelessness almost every day for at least 2 consecutive weeks (OR, 4.13; 95% CI, 2.57-7.22). They were less likely to play school-sponsored team sports (OR, 0.52; 95% CI 0.34-0.80). Steroid users participating in sports shared the same problem behaviors as steroid users not participating in team athletics. Conclusion:Self-reported anabolic steroid use is not confined to adolescent girls in competitive athletics and is an indicator of adolescent girls with a marked increase in a cluster of other health-harming behaviors.
