Health information : Watch out cosmetics with steroids - Steroids are organic compounds sterol fats that can not be hydrolyzed resultant reduction reaction of terpene or squalene. Steroids are a group of compounds that are essential to the basic structure sterana saturated (English: saturated tetracyclic hydrocarbon: 1.2-cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene) with 17 carbon atoms and 4 rings. Derivative compounds including steroids, such as cholesterol, ergosterol, progesterone, and estrogen. In general function as steroid hormones. Steroids have a basic structure consisting of 17 carbon atoms that make up the three cyclohexane rings and one cyclopentane ring. The different types of steroids that one with the other steroids lies in the functional groups bound by a fourth ring and oxidation stages of each ring.
Sterols fat is a specialized form of steroid of the formula comes up kolestana derived from the hydroxyl group at C-3 atom, commonly found in plants, animals and function. All steroids are made in cells with raw materials such as fatty sterols, lanosterol either in animals or function, or a sikloartenol in plants. The second type of fat in the upper made of sterol cyclization squalena of triterpena. Cholesterol is a sterol other types of fat are common.
Some anabolic steroids are, among others, testosterone, metandienon, nandrolone decanoate, 4-androstena-3 17-dione. Anabolic steroids can lead to a number of harmful side effects, such as lowering the ratio of high density lipoprotein, which is useful for the heart, lowers low-density lipoprotein ratio, stimulation of prostate tumor, coagulation abnormalities and liver disorders, baldness, hair thickening, acne and the onset of breast growth in men . In physiology, anabolic steroids can make a person aggressive
Steroids are powerful drugs to overcome the inflammation and relieve pain, in addition to the steroid directly bekarja on brain chemistry is also beneficial for improving mood. Someone who is not inflamed but taking steroids can feel comfortable in a relatively cepat.Tetapi steroid use as a pain reliever and improve mood also has side effects that sometimes it membahayakan.Efek side caused by steroid use include: - Steroids can suppress immune function and increase the risk of infection. - When drunk, steroids can cause gastritis or ulcer-Steroids can stop the blood supply to the joints, especially in the thighs and cause pain degenerative called avascular necrosis. - Steroids can reduce bone mass and increase the risk of fractures bone in long-term use. - Steroids can cause the body's ability to respond to the emotional and physical pain is reduced. - Most of taking steroids will remove fat and fluid in his body despite discontinuation of the steroid.

Long-term use of anabolic steroids cause heart failure. A new study suggests that the drug is widely used by bodybuilders and athletes, can damage heart function.
Dr. Aaron L. Baggish, medical assistant at Massachusetts General Hospital and colleagues at Harvard Medical School and McLean Hospital has observated  19 heavy lifters. A total of 12 athletes including average using 675 milligrams of steroids a week for nine years and nine who said they never used steroids. The researchers studied the function of the left ventricle each athlete.

"A common myth is the steroid makes the heart grow massively large. But we did not see it.", Baggish said as quoted by AP page,

Of research shows, steroid users, the volume of blood ejected at each heart rate below normal. Decline in the ability to pump blood, is a major cause of heart failure. From this small study suggests, the use of steroids to influence heart failure. "It should be studied in an experiment with a larger sample," said Baggish.

It is unclear, how long should steroid use can cause damage to the heart. But he noted that many cases of vascular damage terrible short-term use. The logical recommendation is do not use steroids, primarily for cosmetic purposes or sports. Baggish hopes to examine with a larger sample to confirm these findings.
