RESUMO
The word steroid - we all know these are life saving drugs. Steroids have different meanings. Steroids are chemicals, often hormones that your body makes naturally. They help your organs, tissues, and cells do their jobs. Steroids can also refer to man-made medicines. We all know misuse of anything could be fatal. Nowadays anabolic steroids are very common especially in young adults going to gym for making muscles. Gym trainers are giving them steroids by saying and assuring that it will help them to build their muscle and body mass index. In some cases it can become life threatening too. Here in this article I’m going to present such case in which a young boy of just 25 years of age has taken such steroids and lands himself in deep trouble. He was healthy but the moment he joined gym, everything was ruined. He was diagnosed with AVN (Avascular Necrosis) of hip joint. AVN is a deadly pathology in which death of bone tissue occur due to lack of blood supply. Now he is not able to walk on his own and using wheel chair. So this article is basically awareness to young generation who are running behind this stuff and making their life hell.
RESUMO
Twenty-five male rats, 26-27 days of age, average weight 61.62 gm. were divided into 4 groups. Rats of each group were injected with subcutaneously every second day 1 mg. one of the following drugs: durabolin, Deca-durabolin or Testosterone propionate, and the last group, as normal control, was uninjected. All rats were sacrificed at 54-55 days of age. The thymus glands were weighed and histological appearances were observed. This study showed that thymic weights of all injected groups were less than that of the control, indicating that all 3 drugs caused the thymus gland to involute faster than normal. In comparing the weight and histological appearances of effect on the thymus gland.
