Swedish study: administration of steroids alters normal body fat distribution

Recently some experts at Lulea University of Technology and Umea University conducted a valuable research. Specialists studied and determined connections between administration of steroids, body fat distribution and some adverse reactions of anabolic steroids. The research has manifested that users of steroids may suffer from abnormal fat distribution which can result in heart attacks and other disorders of cardiovascular system.
The results of the study and conclusions were published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
 10 Swedish elite lifters were enrolled in the study. They apply anabolic steroids regularly. Thus, it was studied function of steroids in body fat distribution.
It is affirmed that lifters that take steroids possessing anabolic and androgenic properties face risks suffering from heart attacks. The experts at Lulea University of Technology and Umea University have studied how body fat is distributed in lifters who use steroids possessing anabolic and androgenic characteristics. It has been defined that incorrect fat distribution can be a reason for diseases of cardiovascular system.
The lifters who were enrolled in the study were divided into two 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 that take steroids have more reduced fat deposits below the waist. So, they have lower levels of gynoid fat.
DEXA scanner which is usually applied to study osteoporosis has been utilized in order to measure fat distribution during the research.
