Anabolic Steroids Are Quite Effective

Anabolic steroids have been curing many problems of millions of people such as deficiencies in sex hormones and burn victims who need to build up their metabolism to repair musculoskeletal tissue.

They have been successfully used in different treatments to improve surgical repair of recurrent tears or massive of the shoulder's rotator cuff tendons that often creates problems for sportsmen. These properties can be applied to shoulder tissue as it has been reported that anabolic steroid can be used on such tissue apart from building muscle mass and strength.

A new study was conducted in which supraspinatus tendon cells were harvested from the patients at the time of rotator cuff surgery. A bioartificial tendon was developed where cells were grown in the culture media to coalesce and form an experimental tendon model. Some of the developing tissues were treated with the anabolic steroid, nandrolone decoanate, before applying mechanical strain.

From Medical news today:

New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill indicates that treatment with anabolic steroids may improve surgical repair of massive or recurrent tears of the shoulder's rotator cuff tendons.

Such injuries extend well beyond the world of high-performance athletes, professional and collegiate - often occurring among older weekend athletes, including tennis and golf players. The study, which appears in the June issue of the American Journal of Sports Medicine, was led by Dr. Spero Karas, assistant professor of orthopedic surgery in UNC's School of Medicine.

This showed a significant increase in their biomechanical properties. After consuming anabolic steroids, tendons formed were smaller, stronger, denser, and had better remodeling properties than tissue cells not treated with steroid or placed under strain. Moreover, they were more elastic.

Anabolic steroids are FDA-approved for treating anemia for their ability to help the body rebuild blood. Studies have also showed that improvements in surgical repair of massive or recurrent tears of the shoulder's rotator cuff tendons can be seen after using anabolic steroids.
