research The Physiological Effects of Anabolic Steroids on the Human Body
Abusing anabolic steroids can cause serious health problems despite short-term muscle gains.
research Effection of Epristeride and Finasteride on Spermatogenesis in Male Rats
Finasteride reduces sperm count and affects male reproductive function, while Epristeride does not.
research The Mossman–Pacey Paradox
Men using steroids or finasteride to look more attractive may harm their fertility and sexual function, creating a paradox where they seem fit but may be less able to reproduce.
research The stimulation of hair growth in the flank organs of female hamsters by subcutaneous testosterone propionate and its inhibition by topical cyproterone acetate: dose-response studies
Testosterone increases hamster hair growth; cyproterone acetate reduces it.
