Steroids use and aggressiveness

As you know, steroids are used by various professional and nonprofessional sportsmen in order to enhance muscle mass and strength. But according to recent studies, utilizing of steroids is a very negative factor for brain cells. Since these drugs increase level of testosterone in body, they affect and even destruct brain cells. This confirmation about destruction of nerve cells by increased level of testosterone was proven by a research leaded by Yale School of Medicine that was published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Scientists confirm that enhanced aggressiveness displayed by steroids consumers testify that certain amount of nerve cells was killed due to utilizing of steroids.
Barbara Ehrlich, a professor, a leader of a research related to steroids use, recommends not to condemn steroids users, if they act unusually. It is necessary to understand that it may be not their blame. Steroids must have had fault of aggressiveness of those who administrate these preparations.
The study leaded by Yale School of Medicine showed that testosterone destructed brain cells. One of important functions of testosterone secreted naturally is following: to kill nerve cells which can be harmful for the whole body due to their damages. But when level of testosterone is enhanced, it kills not only destructed cells but healthy ones too. It may lead to such dangerous problems, as appearing of Alzheimer's and Huntingdon's disease and others.

Aggressiveness of hamsters due to steroids
Hamsters were recruited in one of studies published in the journal Behavioral Neuroscience. The scientists involved in the study observed influence of anabolic steroids upon the hamsters. The hamsters that were given these preparations became too aggressive. Their brain activity was changed a lot due to these medications.
The specialists concluded that steroids damaged people’s brain the same way as hamsters’ brain. According to their confirmations, people suggest that steroids are forbidden due to their athletic effects. But people should understand that the main reason is negative influence of these medicines upon human health. These medications have to be administrated only for medical purposes by prescriptions of prescribers. Steroids use in sports has to be avoided totally.
