Steroid users have lower levels of gynoid fat in comparison with those that don’t use steroids

A precious study was conducted at Lulea University of Technology and Umea University. Scientists studied and defined relations between usage of steroids, body fat distribution and several adverse effects of anabolic steroids. The study has manifested that consumers of steroids can experience unhealthy fat distribution which can lead to heart attacks and other dysfunctions 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 enrolled in the research. They use anabolic steroids regularly. Thus, it was studied role of steroids in body fat distribution.
It is affirmed that lifters who administer steroids possessing anabolic and androgenic properties have risks suffering from 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 possessing anabolic and androgenic effects. It has been defined that unhealthy fat distribution may be a reason for cardiovascular diseases.
The lifters who were implicated in the study were divided into 2 groups. Fat distribution was studied in lifters of the two groups. The lifters of one group administered anabolic steroids. The lifters of another group didn’t take steroids.
The study has shown that those who administer steroids have more decreased fat deposits below the waist. Thus, they have lower levels of gynoid fat.
DEXA scanner which is commonly applied to study osteoporosis has been used in order to determine fat distribution during the study.
