Swedish experts: anabolic steroids are responsible for cardiovascular diseases caused due to unhealthy fat distribution

A valuable research was conducted at Lulea University of Technology and Umea University. Scientists studied and defined relations between application of steroids, body fat distribution and several undesirable reactions of anabolic steroids. The research has displayed that steroid users may suffer from abnormal fat distribution that can result in heart attacks and other diseases 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 involved in the study. They use anabolic steroids regularly. So, it was studied function of steroids in fat distribution.
It is affirmed that lifters who use steroids possessing anabolic and androgenic properties face risks experiencing heart attacks. The experts at Lulea University of Technology and Umea University have studied the way body fat is distributed in lifters that use steroids having anabolic and androgenic properties. It has been seen that unhealthy fat distribution can be a reason for disorders of cardiovascular system.
The lifters that were involved in the study were divided into 2 groups. Fat distribution was studied in all lifters. The lifters of one group administered anabolic steroids. The lifters of another group didn’t use steroids.
The research has displayed that those that use steroids have more reduced fat deposits below the waist. Thus, they have lower levels of gynoid fat.
DEXA scanner which is commonly used to study osteoporosis has been utilized in order to measure fat distribution in these lifters.
