- Abstract
Anabolic androgenic steroids are chemically modified synthetic analogs of testosterone. Since they were discovered, at the beginning of the 20th century, they have been used extensively in professional sports, and more disturbing, in adolescents and young adults. Some current cultural values provide a thematic line that can lead to the consumption of these substances. The consumption of anabolic steroids represents a public health problem. Adverse effects have been extensively documented, affecting a multitude of systems. Among the most relevant, we can mention the adverse effects at cardiovascular, psychological, hepatic, reproductive, neuro-cognitive, genetic and musculo-skeletal. Despite evidenced findings, many of them irreversible, new studies are necessary for greater evidence's matter.
