There are no complicated chemical structures or complex explanations here, just some basic facts and figures, in layman's terms, on what sorts of steroids are used in bodybuilding today and how bodybuilders use them, including the most commonly used steroids on the market, how they are used and in what quantities, as well as Post Steroid Therapy, Human Growth Hormone, Mechano Growth Factor, IGF1, insulin, growth hormone releasing peptides and examples of various stacks and cycles. Also profiled is Sanabolicum; the most talked about anabolic steroid on the planet. If you are going to use steroids, or thinking about it, and want some quick, easy-to-read basic information in one place, rather than getting lost amongst the thousands of pages and millions of words on the Internet, and getting confused with the complex structures and explanations, then this is definitely the book for you!

Providing a significant source of information for upper high school and community college students concerning steroids and their derivatives, this book provides a holistic overview of this controversial class of drugs. The risks of recreational steroid use are often ignored or misunderstood by those who try them. At the same time, the therapeutic use of steroids can be dangerous when they're used incorrectly. Part of the Story of a Drug series, this timely book is specifically tailored to address the questions and concerns of young people, providing readers with an accessible source of information for understanding steroidal drugs. Chapters cover the history of steroids, including the development of synthetic steroids, steroid biochemistry, and the drugs' therapeutic functions, notably the importance of natural steroids in maintaining human life. The book discusses the current state of recreational use among athletes and students and of the dangers of misuse and overdose, and covers legal and governmental regulations relative to both therapeutic and recreational use of the drugs. The reader will come away from this volume with a comprehensive understanding of the pros and cons of steroid use based on current research, and grasp the possible risks—medical and legal—related to misuse of these powerful drugs.

The term steroid has become virtually synonymous with drug abuse in sport to the majority of the public. However these steroids - androgens - actually comprise only a single relatively small class of biologically active steroids, and are overshadowed by a large collection of compounds, a sizeable number of which are commercial drugs that share the same structural carbon skeleton. The development of these drugs has led to a large body of organic chemistry often denoted as "Steroid Chemistry". Steroid Chemistry At A Glance provides a concise overview of the main principles and reactions of steroid chemistry. Topics covered include: history, isolation and structure determination of steroids steroid nomenclature and stereochemistry natural sources of steroids synthesis and reactions of aromatic a-ring steroids, androstanes, and pregnanes steroids with a spirolactone at position 17 steroids with hetrocyclic ring A compounds derived from cholesterol Based on the highly successful and student friendly "at a glance" approach, the information is presented in integrated, self contained double page spreads of text and illustrative material. Students of chemistry and pharmacy using Steroid Chemistry at a Glance will find they have a resource with which they can quickly, concisely and confidently acquire, regularly review and revise the basic facts that underpin the properties, synthesis and reactions of this important class of natural products. It will also serve as a handy bench reference for postgraduates and professional chemists.

The Chromatography of Steroids details the fundamental concepts and underlying principles of laboratory techniques utilized in separating steroid mixtures. The text first covers the basic theory of chromatography, and then proceeds to tackling the chromatographic separation of steroids. Next, the selection details the techniques and apparatus employed in chromatography of steroids. Chapter IV talks about the colorimetric and radioisotopic techniques, while Chapter V deals with the structural analysis and identification of steroids by chromatography. The text also coves the typical analytical problems of steroid biochemistry. The book will be of great use to researchers who utilizes chromatographic methods in their work with steroids.

This engaging series examines various controversial topics present in today's society.
