Abstract
The effect of androgenic steroids on plasma lipids was studied in seven power athletes who self-administered androgenic steroids on the average 45 mg/day during an 8-week strength training period. At the beginning of the study, no significant differences were noticed in HDL-cholesterol levels between the steroid users and the controls. After 8 weeks of strength training, the androgen users had reduced the HDL-cholesterol by 54 (from 1.47 to 0.67 mmol). The difference when compared to controls was highly significant. It was concluded that the use of androgenic steroids combined with strength training decreases serum HDL-cholesterol and thus may cause a higher risk for coronary heart disease. Verf.-Referat
