<br>Anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS) are synthetic derivatives of testosterone that promote muscle growth and enhance athletic performance. The most widely studied agents include nandrolone decanoate (commonly sold as Deca‑Durabolin), testosterone esters (e.g., testosterone cypionate), and steroidal implants or gels containing testosterone analogues. This section summarizes their pharmacological profiles, typical dosing regimens used in sports contexts, and the primary physiological benefits reported. |
