Influence of steroids on nerve cells

As you know, steroids are utilized by several athletes in order to increase muscle mass and energy. But according to recent studies, administration of steroids is a very negative factor for brain cells. Since these preparations enhance amount of testosterone in body, they affect and even destruct brain cells. This confirmation about destruction of nerve cells by induced amount of testosterone was proven by a research conducted by Yale School of Medicine that was published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Scientists confirm that abnormal aggressiveness displayed by steroids consumers testify that certain amount of nerve cells was disturbed due to utilizing of steroids.
Barbara Ehrlich, a professor, a leader of a study related to administration of steroids, advices not to condemn steroids users, if they act in an aggressive manner. You have to know that it may be not their fault. Steroids must have had fault of unusual actions of those who utilize these medications.
The research leaded by Yale School of Medicine displayed that testosterone destroyed brain cells. One of principal functions of testosterone produced naturally is following: to destruct nerve cells that may be harmful for the whole body due to their damages. But when level of testosterone is increased, it kills not only damaged cells but healthy ones too. It can lead to such dangerous ilnesses, as appearing of Alzheimer's and Huntingdon's disease and others.

Aggressiveness of hamsters due to steroids
Hamsters were enrolled in a study published in the journal Behavioral Neuroscience. The specialists involved in the study observed influence of anabolic steroids upon the hamsters. The hamsters that were given these medicines became too aggressive. Their brain activity was modified much due to these preparations.
The researches concluded that steroids affected people’s brain the same way as hamsters’ brain. According to their conclusions, people think that steroids are forbidden due to their athletic effects. But they have to realize that the chief reason is harmful influence of these preparations on human health. These preparations should be applied only for medical purposes by prescriptions of prescribers. Steroids use in sports should be forbidden totally.
