Steroids Thailand

Pressbox (Press Release) - The chemical compounds known as steroids are legally available in Thailand and have widely varying functions essential to life. In humans, the two main types of steroids are anabolic and cortical.

The anabolic ones promote tissue growth by creating protein and other new substances. The main anabolic steroid is testosterone, a primary male sex hormone. Chemists have identified natural derivatives of testosterone and have synthesized others that are derived from testosterone, thus creating synthesized versions of male hormone.

In addition to enhancing muscle growth, athletes use steroids because the drugs give them a sense of well-being, invincibility and enabling them to train harder and achieve much better results in a shorter period of time. Also more people from mainstream society are using them for image enhancing purposes , along with older men using testosterone for erectile dysfunction problems.

As we learned, an “Anabolic steroid” is the name for synthetic substances related to the male sex hormones (androgens). They promote the growth of skeletal muscle (anabolic effects) and the development of male sexual characteristics (androgenic effects), and also have some other effects. The term “anabolic steroids” is used throughout society because of its familiarity, although the proper term for these compounds is “anabolic-androgenic” steroids.

Anabolic steroid was developed in the late 1930s primarily to treat hypogonadism, a condition in which the testes do not produce sufficient testosterone for normal growth, development, and sexual functioning. The primary medical uses of these compounds are to treat delayed puberty, some types of impotence, and wasting of the body caused by HIV infection or other diseases.

During the 1930s, scientists discovered that anabolic steroids could facilitate the growth of skeletal muscle in laboratory animals, which led to use of the compounds first by bodybuilders and weightlifters and then by athletes in other sports.
