Influence of steroids on nerve cells

It is well-known that steroids are utilized by a lot of sportsmen in order to increase muscle size and strength. But according to late researches, utilizing of steroids is a too harmful factor for brain cells. Since these products enhance amount of testosterone in body, they influence negatively and even destroy brain cells. This confirmation about destruction of brain cells by increased amount of testosterone was approved by a research conducted by Yale School of Medicine that was published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Scientists say that abnormal aggressiveness shown by steroids users testify that certain amount of brain cells was disturbed due to taking of steroids.
Barbara Ehrlich, a professor, a leader of a research related to steroids use, recommends not to condemn those who utilize steroids, when they behave unproperly. You have to realize that it can be not their blame. Steroids must have been responsible for unusual actions of those who apply these preparations.
The research conducted by Yale School of Medicine displayed that testosterone destroyed nerve cells. One of main functions of testosterone produced naturally is following: to kill brain cells that may be dangerous for the whole body due to their destructions. But when level of testosterone is increased, it destructs not only damaged 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 enrolled in one of studies published in the journal Behavioral Neuroscience. The scientists involved in the research observed influence of anabolic steroids upon the hamsters. The hamsters that were given these products became too aggressive. Their brain activity was modified a lot due to steroids.
The specialists made a conclusion that steroids affected people’s brain the same way as hamsters’ brain. According to their conclusions, people suggest that steroids are forbidden due to their athletic effects. But they should realize that the chief reason is negative influence of these medications on human health. These drugs must be applied only for treatment of diseases by prescriptions of specialists. Administration of steroids in sports must be forbidden totally.
