Swedish experts: intake of steroids may cause unhealthy fat distribution that leads to heart attacks

A valuable research was conducted at Lulea University of Technology and Umea University. Scientists studied and defined relations between administration of steroids, body fat distribution and some undesirable consequences of anabolic steroids. The research has displayed that users of steroids may experience unhealthy 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.
 Ten top lifters from Sweden were involved in the research. They use anabolic steroids regularly. Thus, it was studied role of steroids in body fat distribution.
It is affirmed that lifters that take anabolic-androgenic steroids face risks suffering from heart attacks. It has been studied by specialists at Lulea University of Technology and Umea University how body fat is distributed in lifters that administer steroids possessing anabolic and androgenic features. It has been determined that incorrect fat distribution can be a reason for cardiovascular diseases.
The lifters who were involved in the study were divided into two groups. Body fat distribution was studied in lifters of the two groups. The lifters of one group applied anabolic steroids. The lifters of another group didn’t apply steroids.
The study has demonstrated that those that administer steroids have more reduced fat deposits below the waist. So, they have lower levels of gynoid fat.
DEXA scanner which is ordinarily used to study osteoporosis has been utilized in order to determine fat distribution during the study.
