This review published in an issue of The Cochrane Library, a publication of The Cochrane Collaboration.

It was remarked by review lead author Karen Johns, a Medical Assessment Officer from the Agency Health Canada that the degree of weight gain due to anabolic steroid treatment can be relevant in clinical terms.

From News-Medical.Net:

Anabolic steroids are synthetic substances similar to the male sex hormone testosterone that promote growth of skeletal muscle and the development of male sexual characteristics.

Although most recently in the news for their misuse by professional athletes, anabolic steroids have legitimate medical application for men with low testosterone and people with certain types of anemia. Two anabolic steroids available in the United States, nandrolone decanoate and oxandrolone, have been used to help increase weight and muscle mass in small studies of people with wasting.

Conversely, anabolic steroid use has been associated with increased rates of HIV in those who share needles or use nonsterile needles when they inject steroids.

In the review studies, anabolic steroids were administered to patients either orally or by injection. The main side effects were mild and included abnormal liver function tests; acne; mild increase in body hair; breast tenderness; increased libido, aggressiveness and irritability; and mood swings — all common side effect of anabolic steroid use.

It is noteworthy to note here that AIDS wasting is often the primary reason behind weight loss in patients with HIV that results in muscle loss. The wasting stems from lost ability of the human body in facilitating muscle growth and even from low levels of testosterone in the body.

Deca-Durabolin

Deca-Durabolin has a unique ability of not breaking down to a more potent metabolite in the target tissues of androgen and is therefore considered as the most popular injectable steroid of all times.

This wonder drug is used by bodybuilders to help muscle cells store more nitrogen than what is actually released by them to facilitate growth of muscle cells. Once Deca-Durabolin gets injected into the human body, it is released on a consistent basis from the intramuscular depot to get hydrolyzed into nandrolome.

Deca-durabolin, which is also known as Nandrolone Decanoate and Deca to the world, is the first choice of all those who want to protect skin, scalp, and prostate from any kind of possible ailments.

The recommended dosage of Deca Durabolin is 25-50 mg every three weeks in the form of deep intramuscular injections.

In order to reap optimum benefits of Deca-durabolin for long, it must be kept at a controlled temperature between 2-30°C, away from light, moisture, and direct sunlight.

Benefits of Deca-Durabolin, the most popular injectable steroid, are easy to reap without any hassles if it is used in a discriminate manner and under the advice of a qualified medical practitioner.
