Abstract: [cze] [eng]
Cílem práce je podat co nejširší přehled o problematice anabolických steroidů. Věnuje se mechanismu působení, vysvětlení pojmů, historii, důvodům, proč jsou užívány (klady a zápory), využitím v lékařství, dopingovými testy, osobnostem uživatelů a dalším aspektům, které s touto problematikou souvisí. Anabolic steroids, also known as anabolic-androgenic steroids or AAS, are a class of steroid hormones related to the hormone testosterone. They increase protein synthesis within cells, which results in the buildup of cellular tissue (anabolism), especially in muscles. Anabolic steroids also have androgenic and virilizing properties, including the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics such as the growth of the vocal cords and body hair. Non medical uses for anabolic steroids are controversial, because of their adverse effects and their use to gain potential advantage in competitive sports. The use of anabolic steroids is banned by all major sporting bodies. In countries where the drugs are controlled, there is often a black market in which smuggled or counterfeit drugs are sold to users. The quality of such illegal drugs may be low, and contaminants may cause additional health risks.
