Recently some experts at Lulea University of Technology and Umea University conducted a valuable research. Specialists studied and determined links between intake of steroids, body fat distribution and certain side effects of anabolic steroids. The study has manifested that consumers of steroids may suffer from abnormal fat distribution which can lead to heart attacks and other problems linked with cardiovascular system.
The results of the study and conclusions were published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
10 elite lifters from Sweden were enrolled in the study. They administer anabolic steroids regularly. Thus, it was studied role of steroids in fat distribution.
It is known that lifters that apply anabolic-androgenic steroids face risks experiencing heart attacks. The experts at Lulea University of Technology and Umea University have studied the way body fat is distributed in lifters that administer steroids possessing anabolic and androgenic characteristics. It has been determined that unhealthy fat distribution can be a reason for dysfunctions of cardiovascular system.
The lifters who were involved in the study were divided into two groups. Fat distribution was studied in all lifters. The lifters of one group administered anabolic steroids. The lifters of the other group didn’t apply steroids.
The study has displayed that those that take steroids have lower fat deposits below the waist. So, they have more reduced levels of gynoid fat.
DEXA scanner which is normally utilized to study osteoporosis has been used in order to determine fat distribution by the specialists of the study.
