Resumo: There are evidences of the increase in the consumption of anabolic steroids and the damages to health caused by their indiscriminate use, mainly among children and youngsters. The anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) consist in testosterone and its derivatives. They are produced endogenously in the testicles and adrenal cortex and are responsible for the secondary sexual characteristics associated to masculinity. Although the results of the exogenous use of AAS are still controversial, they have been used for the increase of physical strength and muscle mass. These substances are directly related to different clinical conditions such as: bladder cancer, coronary disease, gynecomastia, hepatic disorders and cancer, and sterility. This study aimed at approaching relevant topics related to the drugs action mechanisms, ways of use and metabolism, and side effects, besides the importance of the prevention in the use of those drugs in most diverse age groups. The abusive use of anabolic-androgenic steroids consists in a problem that has gradually occurred, which has given rise to laws, rules and support groups turned to the prevention, education and restriction of their use.

Os hormônios esteróides androgênicos anabólicos (EAA) compreendem a testosterona e seus derivados. Endogenamente são produzidos nos testículos e no córtex adrenal e são responsáveis pelas características sexuais secundárias associadas à masculinidade. Apesar dos resultados do uso exógeno de EAA ser ainda controverso, têm sido utilizados para o aumento da força física e da massa muscular. Essas substâncias estão diretamente relacionadas a diversas situações clínicas como o câncer de próstata, doença coronariana, ginecomastia, disfunções e câncer hepáticos e esterilidade. Este trabalho teve como objetivo abordar tópicos relevantes relacionados aos mecanismos de ação, formas de uso e metabolismo, e efeitos colaterais, além da importância da prevenção na utilização destas drogas nas mais diversas faixas etárias. O uso abusivo de anabolizantes andrógenos consiste um problema que tem ocorrido de forma gradativa, o que tem suscitado o surgimento de leis, normas e grupos de apoio voltados a prevenção, educação e restrição de seu uso.Universidade de Fortaleza2012-01-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/103710.5020/1037Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 20 No. 4 (2007); 267-275Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 20 Núm. 4 (2007); 267-275Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 20 n. 4 (2007); 267-2751806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORporhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/1037/2197Ferreira, Urival Magno GomesFerreira, Alan de Carvalho DiasAzevedo, Andréa Maria PiresSilva, Carlos Antonio Bruno dainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2012-01-10T12:18:55Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/1037Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2012-01-10T12:18:55Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false
