Endogenous androgens, mainly testosterone, secreted by the testes and its major metabolite - DHT - responsible for the development of external and internal genitalia and preservation of secondary sexual characteristics (stimulating hair growth, deepening of the voice, development of the libido). They affect the protein anabolism; the development of the skeletal muscles and the distribution of subcutaneous fat; help reduce nitrogen excretion in urine sodium, potassium, chloride, phosphate, and water. Testosterone does not cause testicular development: it reduces the pituitary secretion of gonadotropins.

Effects. Observation of UK athletes

Effects of testosterone on some target organs are shown after peripheral conversion of testosterone to estradiol, which then binds to the estrogen receptor in the nuclei of the cells of target organs (such as the pituitary, adipose tissue, brain, bone, etc.).

Side effects

An overdose of hormones, particularly testosterone derivatives, can cause hypersexuality, and prolonged use can cause in men a constant heavy obese breast (gynecomastia) or temporary slight obesity (false gynecomastia - lipomastiya). Gynecomastia in advanced stage removed only by surgery. Lipomastiya eliminated conventional exercise. Women in the UK may manifest Clitoromegaly.

Long-term use of steroid medications origin can cause various diseases, such as acne, seborrhea, stretch marks, etc. For women from the UK, the secondary sexual characteristics, which are shown by the use of anabolic agents on the basis of testosterone remain forever.
