Recently some experts at Lulea University of Technology and Umea University conducted a valuable research. Scientists studied and set connections between steroid use, body fat distribution and certain undesirable reactions of anabolic steroids. The research has displayed that users of steroids can experience abnormal fat distribution that can result in heart attacks and other diseases of cardiovascular system.
The results of the research and conclusions were published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
10 elite lifters from Sweden were involved in the study. They apply anabolic steroids continuously. So, it was studied role of steroids in body fat distribution.
It is stated that lifters who apply steroids possessing anabolic and androgenic properties have risks experiencing heart attacks. The specialists at Lulea University of Technology and Umea University have studied the way body fat is distributed in lifters that apply steroids having anabolic and androgenic features. It has been observed that unhealthy fat distribution can be a reason for diseases of cardiovascular system.
The lifters who were implicated in the research were divided into 2 groups. Fat distribution was studied in all lifters. The lifters of one group administered anabolic steroids. The lifters of another group didn’t take steroids.
The study has shown that those that take steroids have more decreased fat deposits below the waist. Thus, they have more decreased levels of gynoid fat.
DEXA scanner which is usually used to study osteoporosis has been applied in order to measure fat distribution in these lifters.
