Question: How is Testosterone produced in the body naturally?
Answer: First, let me say that both males and females produce
testosterone (T) and Estrogen (E) naturally. However the amount of T and
E produced varies between the two sexes. In this post I'll emphasize on
the production of T in males [sorry ladies :)] which goes like this:
When T level in the body falls bellow a certain set-point (set-point varies
between individuals) the hypothalamus is stimulated to produce Gonadotropin
Releasing Hormone GnRH). GnRH in turn signal the pituitary to produce
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulated Hormone (FSH) which is
then released into the blood stream. Those two hormones travel in the blood
until they get attached to specialized cells in the testes; LH enters the
Leydig cells where it stimulate the production of T, while FSH enters the
Sertoli cells and promotes the production of Sperm.
Now for sperm cells to mature they need to "swim" in T. So guess who gets
the first shot at T? The remaining T is then released into the blood stream
where 97 to 99 percent of them gets bound to serum protein and become
inactive and then destroyed by the liver. The remaining 1 to 3 percent are
free to enter sex organs and muscle cells and might, under certain
circumstances, cause muscle growth.
At this point the level of T is high in the blood. This high concentration
of T signals the formation of Inhibin which then signal the hypothalamus to
stop the production of GnRH and the beginning of the transformation of some
T to Estrogen (the female sex hormone). When the level of T become low
again, the whole process is repeated.
Things to keep in mind:
Note: The information below was taken from the current information
leaflet on steroid use, prepared by the Inner South Community Health
Services AIDS Prevention Team for Turning Point, Melbourne. A big
Thank you goes to James M. for bringing this subject to my attention and
for providing a text copy of the injection leaflet.
Answer: When injecting steroids, whether water or oil based, they must be
taken intramuscularly, i.e. the injection must penetrate the skin and
surface fat and enter the muscle. The most common area to inject into is
the upper outer quarter of the buttock. Injections can also be placed into
the outer thigh. Intramuscular injections should be given deep within the
muscle and away from major nerves and blood vessels.
Some solutions can be harder to inject than others, causing the
needle to block sometimes. Shake the solution vigorously before drawing
into the syringe to avoid blocking.
The most acceptable needle is a 19 or 21 gauge (1.5 inch) with a
2.5ml syringe. Needles shorter than 1 inch are not recommended.
The injection site should be cleaned with an alcohol swab. Always
use a new syringe and a new needle. To clear the syringe of air slowly
squeeze the plunger, needle pointed up, until the air bubbles near the top
are pushed out. Do not touch the needle. Once the syringe is inserted deep
into the muscle, pull back on the plunger and make sure there is no blood
in the syringe (indicating you've hit a blood vessel). Slowly inject the
oil, withdraw the needle and press a new alcohol swab on the site. Rub the
area vigorously. Always discard the used needle properly: use a needle
disposal bin or coffee jar and return to a needle exchange.
It is not recommended to use the same injection site more than
twice a week.

2. What are Anabolic Steroids?
Anabolic steroids (AS) are synthetic derivative of testosterone (the male
sex hormone). Testosterone is responsible for normal growth and development
of the male sex organs and for the maintenance of secondary sex
characteristics which include growth and maturation of the prostate, seminal
vesicles, penis, and scrotum. Furthermore, testosterone help in thickening
of the vocal cord, the alteration in body musculature and fat distribution,
and the retention of nitrogen, water, and electrolytes.
3. What are the side effects?
Anabolic steroids are associated with numerous side effects. Most of the
side effects are mild and reversible. However, some are permanent and life
threatening.
In both sexes:
In males:
In females:
4. Can you list & describe the various types of AS?
Note:
- The names in parenthesis are brand names (some of which has been discontinued).
- The dosage provided are, in some cases, the therapeutic dosage.
- Dosages used by athletes can be much higher.
This is a veterinary AS which is used to beef up cattle and
race horses. It is also used by many bodybuilders. Boldenone
Undecylenate is supposed to be a safe AS.
This drug is used by athletes for two reasons. First it is used
to inflame muscle just before competition. It is also used to help
lagging body parts grow.
This drug is very toxic on the liver and it's one of the few AS
that causes "Roid Rage." It's primarily used to increase the
hardness of muscles. Novice BB, stay away from this AS.
Dianabol was widely used in the 70's and 80's by most strength
athletes. For that reason it was called "the breakfast of
champions". D'bol works; Weight and strength gain are in most
cases dramatic. It has been discontinued in the U.S. however it
is still being manufactured in Russia, Poland and other Eastern
European countries and Thailand.
This is excellent AS; it is anabolic and insignificantly
androgenic. It is usually stacked with D'bal and Test in a
bulking cycle and with Winstrol or Parabolan in a cutting cycle.
It is found in 5, 25 & 50 mg tablets and in its 100 mg
injectable form.
This is another toxic drug which is primarily used by
weightlifters. It helps in increasing intensity without
losing muscle mass.
This AS is considered by athletes to be one of the best AS
available in the U.S. It is highly anabolic and mildly
androgenic. Mostly, it is used in conjunction with other AS such
as testosterone in a bulking cycle and with Anavar/Parabolan in
a cutting cycle. This drug lasts a long time in the body, therefore
infrequent injections are required. Some people inject every four
weeks although it's not recommended.
This is a fast acting form of Nandrolone Decanoate it last up to
five day in the body.
Nandrolone Undecanoate comes in 80.5 mg amps which provides 50 mg
of free form nandrolone. It's a bit more anabolic/androgenic than
Deca.
After a short absence from the US market Oxandrolone is now
available in 2.5 mg tabs sold under the brand name Oxandrin.
This AS is supposed to be a very safe anabolic steroid that
promote protein anabolism. It's very low on androgen and it's
primarily used in conjunction with other steroids.
Anadrol is highly anabolic/androgenic drug (I believe it's the
highest anabolic steroids in the market). It causes some serious
side effects; various cases of liver cancer were attributed to
this drug. Edema and bloating are in most cases associated with
the use of Anadrol.
Parabolan is an androgen which is highly praised by strength
athletes. Parabolan causes a tremendous increase in muscle
hardness and muscle strength. it comes in a 76 mg amp and
it last 2-4 days in the body. Parabolan works very well when
stacked With a low androgen steroid (i.e. Anavar) during a
cutting cycle.
Proviron is a strong Androgen which is used by strength athletes
as well as by swimmers. The effectiveness of this drug is highly
debatable; some bodybuilders don't use Proviron because they
believe it's useless while most other BB use it in conjunction
with Nolvadex as an Estrogen antagonist.
Winstrol promotes protein anabolism and it's low on androgen. The
injectable form of Winstrol (Winstrol V in the US & Winstrol Depot
& Stromba in Europe) is considered to be much safer than the oral
form.
i. Testosterone: Testosterone is dissolved in water and various
esters which determines its life span in the body. Generally,
Testosterone Suspension last one day in the body, Testosterone
Propionate last a few days. Testosterone Cypionate last 1-3 weeks
and Testosterone Enanthate last from 2-4 weeks.
5. What other drugs are used in conjunction with AS?
Tamoxifen Citrate (TC) act on preventing gynecomastia (Gyno aka
bitch tits) by blocking the receptor sites in the breast area.
It is usually used with drugs that are easily converted to Estrogen
(i.e. Testosterone and Anadrol). It comes in 10-40 mg tablets.
Clomid is a drug that is used to normalize the function of the
testes. It acts directly on the hypothalamus to produce LH and
FSH thus increasing the level of Testosterone in the body.
HCG is a drug used to jump start the body's own production of
testosterone after the end of a steroid cycle. It act in the
body by imitating the action of LH (a hormone that regulated
testosterone production).
Ephedrine (E) is used medically as an expectorant and it is
found in many O.C. drugs. Strength athletes use E for it's
thermogenic/anticatabolic effects; many BB compare the effect
of E to those of the much stronger drug Clenbuterol. E is
usually used in conjunction with Caffeine (C) and Aspirin (A).
hGH is a hormone produced by the pituitary (the pea-size organ
deep behind your nose). This hormone is used by weight trainers
to promote protein anabolism and the release of body fat into
the bloodstream. This stuff cost $60-$100 per 4 IU.
