Description
Summary:The aim of this research was study of the effects of steroids on hematological and liver factors in the male bodybuilders. Ten athlete bodybuilders served as the experimental group, those who were taking Oxymetholone drug during a period of 6 weeks exercise training, and 10 athletes (only exercise training) served as the control group. Blood samples were taken before and after the athletes took the drugs and training. Considering the pre-test and post-test, the data were studied by using t-teas. The results showed that at the level of α=0.05,there was significant difference in the concentration of Hb, HCT, SGOT and SGPT in experimental group. Also there was no significant difference in RBC and WBC in both experimental and control groups. .In the other hand, steroids abusing increase Hb,HCT,SGOT and SGPT in the serum. These results show that steroid drugs can have negative effects on the bones and liver tissues.
