Abstract :
In contemporary society, influenced by media
ideals, the pursuit of an aesthetic body extends beyond
health boundaries, with adolescents often drawn to the
positive effects of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) for
physical enhancement. However, the dearth of knowledge
about the repercussions on the adolescent body
necessitates exploration. AAS misuse, prevalent in gyms,
poses health risks, particularly with doses surpassing
therapeutic levels. Adverse effects include metabolic,
endocrine, cardiovascular, hepatic, neural, aesthetic,
behavioral, and psychiatric consequences. This study
aims to assess the impact of testosterone and protein
supplements (Whey Protein) on prepubertal rats, utilizing
an experimental model involving 40 male Wistar albino
rats divided into four groups. The research adheres to
ethical standards, seeking to enhance our understanding
of the intricate hormonal dynamics affected by these
substances, contributing to the broader discourse on
adolescent health and well-being.
