Abstract
Anabolik androjenik streoidler (AAS) testosteronun sentetik türevleri olup, iskelet kasının büyümesini ve (anabolik etki) erkek seks karakterlerinin gelişmesini (androjenik etki) sağlarlar. İllegal olarak, bu ilaçlar halterciler ve vücut geliştiriciler tarafından sportif performansı artırma amacıyla kullanılmaktadırlar. AAS suistimali birtakım kardiyovasküler yan etkilerle ilişkilidir. Vaka raporlarında, akut miyokard infarktüsü en sık görülen yan etki olarak bildirilse de, sol ventrikül hipertrofisi, azalmış sol ventrikül kontraktil fonksiyonu, hipertansiyon, arteriyel tromboz, pulmoner embolizm, endotel disfonksiyonu, lipid metabolizmasında değişiklikler hayatı tehdit eden aritmiler ve ani kardiyak ölüm gibi yan etkiler de görülebilir. Ancak bugüne kadar AAS suiistimalinin uzun süreli kardiyovasküler etkilerini gösteren prospektif, randomize çalışma yapılmamıştır. Bu derlemede, AAS ile indüklenen kardiyotoksisiteye ilişkin güncel literatürü ve kendi deneysel çalışmalarımızı da özetlemeye çalıştık. Buna ek olarak bu yan etkinin olası mekanizmalarını da tartışacağız
CARDIOTOXIC EFFECTS OF ANABOLIC-ANDROGENIC STEROIDS GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS OF ALGAE AND THEIR IMPORTANCE ON PHARMACY
Abstract
Anabolic Androjenic streoids (AAS) are synthetic derivatives of testosterone which promote growth of skeletal muscle (anabolic effect) and the development of the male sexual characteristics (androgenic effects). Illegally, these drugs are regulary self-administered by power lifters and bodybuilders to enhance their sportive performance. Abuse of AAS has been linked to a variety of different cardiovascular side effects. In case reports, acute myocardial infarction is the most common event presented, but other adverse side effects include left ventricular hypertrophy, reduced left ventricular contractile function, hypertension, arterial thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, endothelial dysfunction, alterations of lipid metabolism, life-threatening arrytmia and several cases of sudden cardiac death. However, to date, there are no prospective, randomized, interventional studies on the long term cardiovascular effects of abuse of AAS. In this review, we have tried to summarize recent literature and our recent observations in experimental animals related to AAS- induced cardiotoxicity. Additionally we will discuss possible mechanisms of this adverse effect
