How are Anabolic steroids similar to the hormone?

Anabolic steroids are converted by your liver to testosterone and other hormones, bypassing your body's glandular production of the hormones. Your hormonal system is a complex chain of checks and balances, so your natural production of testosterone can be greatly reduced, while consuming steroids. This is why steroids are taken in cycles, coming off of the roids to let your natural production resume. IMO, one of the key risk areas is that roids are illegal, so steroid application is typically not administered and monitored by a skilled doctor. Don't take them.
