Anabolic steroid users tend to be disillusioned by the portrayal of anabolic steroids as deadly in the media and in politics. [18] According to one study, anabolic steroid users also distrust their physicians, and in the sample, 56% had not disclosed their anabolic steroid use to their physicians. [ 19 ]
When the oil-steroid solution gets into the bloodstream, the steroid oil solution travels into the lungs, therefore causing a coughing fit. There exist several theories on why this phenomenon happens. [9] It is possible that the androgenic effect from steroids activates a variety of lipid-like active compounds which are called prostaglandins. [10]
The drug is a synthetic androgen and anabolic steroid [6] and hence is an agonist of the androgen receptor (AR), the biological target of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). [5] [2] [7] It has strong anabolic effects and highly androgenic effects, as well as potent progestogenic effects, and weak glucocorticoid effects.
As such, the distinction between the terms anabolic steroid and androgen is questionable, and this is the basis for the revised and more recent term anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS). [70] [75] [218] David Handelsman has criticized terminology and understanding surrounding AAS in many publications.

Oxandrolone is an androgen and synthetic anabolic steroid (AAS) medication to help promote weight gain in various situations, to help offset protein catabolism caused by long-term corticosteroid therapy, to support recovery from severe burns, to treat bone pain associated with osteoporosis, to aid in the development of girls with Turner syndrome, and for other indications.
Trestolone acetate (USAN Tooltip United States Adopted Name; developmental code names CDB-903, NSC-69948, U-15614; also known as 7α-methyl-19-nortestosterone 17β-acetate (MENT acetate) and 7α-methylestr-4-en-17β-ol-3-one 17β-acetate) is a synthetic and injected anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) and a derivative of nandrolone (19-nortestosterone) which was never marketed.

Stenbolone, also known as 2-methyl-δ 1-4,5α-dihydrotestosterone (2-methyl-δ 1-DHT) or as 2-methyl-5α-androst-1-en-17β-ol-3-one, is a synthetic androstane steroid and a derivative of DHT. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] It is closely related structurally to drostanolone (2-methyl-DHT), 1-testosterone (δ 1 -DHT), and methylstenbolone (17α-methylstenbolone).
