injectable testosterone cypionate</figcaption></figure> <p>There are four common forms in which AAS are administered: oral pills; injectable steroids; creams/gels for topical application; and skin patches. Oral administration is the most convenient. Testosterone administered by mouth is rapidly absorbed, but it is largely converted to inactive metabolites, and only about one-sixth is available in active form. In order to be sufficiently active when given by mouth, testosterone derivatives are alkylated at the 17α position, e.g. <a href="/wiki/Methyltestosterone" title="Methyltestosterone">methyltestosterone</a> and <a href="/wiki/Fluoxymesterone" title="Fluoxymesterone">fluoxymesterone</a>. This modification reduces the liver's ability to break down these compounds before they reach the systemic circulation. </p><p>Testosterone can be administered <a href="/wiki/Parenteral_medication" class="mw-redirect" title="Parenteral medication">parenterally</a>, but it has more irregular prolonged absorption time and greater activity in muscle in <a href="/wiki/Enanthate" class="mw-redirect" title="Enanthate">enanthate</a>, <a href="/wiki/Undecanoate" class="mw-redirect" title="Undecanoate">undecanoate</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Cypionate" class="mw-redirect" title="Cypionate">cypionate</a> <a href="/wiki/Ester" title="Ester">ester</a> form. These derivatives are hydrolyzed to release free testosterone at the site of injection; absorption rate (and thus injection schedule) varies among different esters, but medical injections are normally done anywhere between semi-weekly to once every 12 weeks. A more frequent schedule may be desirable in order to maintain a more constant level of hormone in the system.<sup id="cite_ref-Chrousos-2012_80-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Chrousos-2012-80"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>77<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Injectable steroids are typically administered into the muscle, not into the vein, to avoid sudden changes in the amount of the drug in the bloodstream. In addition, because estered testosterone is dissolved in oil, intravenous injection has the potential to cause a dangerous <a href="/wiki/Embolism" title="Embolism">embolism</a> (clot) in the bloodstream. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Transdermal_patch" title="Transdermal patch">Transdermal patches</a> (adhesive patches placed on the skin) may also be used to deliver a steady dose through the skin and into the bloodstream. Testosterone-containing creams and gels that are applied daily to the skin are also available, but absorption is inefficient (roughly 10%, varying between individuals) and these treatments tend to be more expensive. Individuals who are especially physically active and/or bathe often may not be good candidates, since the medication can be washed off and may take up to six hours to be fully absorbed. There is also the risk that an intimate partner or child may come in contact with the application site and inadvertently dose themselves; children and women are highly sensitive to testosterone and can develop unintended masculinization and health effects, even from small doses. Injection is the most common method used by individuals administering AAS for non-medical purposes.<sup id="cite_ref-pmid17931410_58-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pmid17931410-58"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>58<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The traditional routes of administration do not have differential effects on the efficacy of the drug.

both blood and hair have been investigated for this purpose. The AAS, whether of endogenous or exogenous origin, are subject to extensive hepatic biotransformation by a variety of enzymatic pathways. The primary urinary metabolites may be detectable for up to 30 days after the last use, depending on the specific agent, dose and route of administration. A number of the drugs have common metabolic pathways, and their excretion profiles may overlap those of the endogenous steroids, making interpretation of testing results a very significant challenge to the analytical chemist. Methods for detection of the substances or their excretion products in urine specimens usually involve <a href="/wiki/Gas_chromatography%E2%80%93mass_spectrometry" title="Gas chromatography–mass

This failure is now understood as being due to the discovery of a singular androgen receptor (AR) together with the misinterpretation of nonspecific whole animal androgen bioassays employed to distinguish between anabolic and virilizing effects (37). The term "androgen" is used herein for both endogenous and synthetic androgens including references to chemicals named elsewhere as "anabolic steroids," "anabolic-androgenic steroids," or "specific AR modulators" (SARM), which continue to make an obsolete and oxymoronic distinction between virilizing and anabolic effects of androgens where there is no difference (36).</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&amp;rft.genre=article&amp;rft.jtitle=Endocr+Rev&amp;rft.atitle=Androgen+Misuse+and+Abuse&amp;rft.volume=42&amp;rft.issue=4&amp;rft.pages=457-501&amp;rft.date=2021-07&amp;rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1210%2Fendrev%2Fbnab001&amp;rft_id=info%3Apmid%2F33484556&amp;rft.aulast=Handelsman&amp;rft.aufirst=DJ&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAnabolic+steroid" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-pmid35277356-237"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-pmid35277356_237-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-pmid35277356_237-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFHandelsman2022" class="citation journal cs1">Handelsman DJ (July 2022).

Hence the singularity of androgen action means that the terms "anabolic steroid" or "androgenic-anabolic steroids" remain an obsolete terminology making a distinction between androgenic and anabolic effects where there is no real difference [67]. This obsolete yet widely used terminology represent a vestige of the unsuccessful quest by the pharmaceutical industry to dissociate the virilizing from anabolic properties and remains in the public mind mainly as a media piñata. Androgen abuse, a more appropriate term which encompasses illicit use of all available androgens, will be used in this chapter.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=bookitem&amp;rft.atitle=Testosterone+Misuse+and+Abuse&amp;rft.btitle=Testosterone&amp;rft.place=Cham&amp;rft.pages=375-402&amp;rft.pub=Springer+International+Publishing&amp;rft.date=2017&amp;rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1007%2F978-3-319-46086-4_19&amp;rft.isbn=978-3-319-46084-0&amp;rft.aulast=Iyer&amp;rft.aufirst=Rakesh&amp;rft.au=Handelsman%2C+David+J.&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAnabolic+steroid" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-IyerHandelsman2016-240"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-IyerHandelsman2016_240-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFIyerHandelsman2016" class="citation book cs1">Iyer R, Handelsman DJ (2016).

[...] the industrial quest for an 'anabolic steroid' based on dissociating the virilizing from the anabolic effects of androgens failed. This is now understood in the light of the later discovery of the singular AR together with the flawed interpretations of relatively nonspecific whole animal bioassays then used to screen synthetic steroids for supposedly distinct anabolic and virilizing effects. Yet, despite the industry's abandonment of this fruitless endeavor by 1980, and its recent reincarnation under the guise of developing a 'selective AR modulator' (SARM) [6], the empty concept of an 'anabolic steroid' persists as an ill-defined and misleading scientific terminology [7, 8] . In this paper, the more accurate and clearer term 'androgen' is used exclusively for both endogenous and synthetic androgens, but includes references to chemicals loosely defined elsewhere as 'anabolic steroids' or 'anabolicandrogenic steroids', which confuse by making an obsolete distinction where there is no difference.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=bookitem&amp;rft.atitle=Androgens&amp;rft.btitle=Frontiers+of+Hormone+Research&amp;rft.pages=82-100&amp;rft.pub=S.+Karger+AG&amp;rft.date=2016&amp;rft_id=info%3Apmid%2F27347677&amp;rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1159%2F000445159&amp;rft.isbn=978-3-318-05868-0&amp;rft.aulast=Iyer&amp;rft.aufirst=Rakesh&amp;rft.au=Handelsman%2C+David+J.&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAnabolic+steroid" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Handelsman2012-241"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Handelsman2012_241-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Handelsman2012_241-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFHandelsman2012" class="citation book cs1">Handelsman DJ (26 July 2012).

In contrast to the full spectrum of androgen effects of testosterone, such SARMs would be pure androgens not subject to tissue-specific activation by aromatization to a corresponding estrogen or to amplification of androgenic potency by 5a-reduction. In this context the endogenous pure androgens nandrolone and DHT can be considered prototype SARMs. SARMs are not the modern embodiment of so-called "anabolic steroids," an outdated term referring to hypothetical but nonexistent non-virilizing androgens targeted exclusively to muscle, a failed concept lacking biological proof of principle (Handelsman 2011).</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=bookitem&amp;rft.atitle=Androgen+therapy+in+non-gonadal+disease&amp;rft.btitle=Testosterone&amp;rft.pages=372-407&amp;rft.pub=Cambridge+University+Press&amp;rft.date=2012-07-26&amp;rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1017%2Fcbo9781139003353.018&amp;rft.isbn=978-1-139-00335-3&amp;rft.aulast=Handelsman&amp;rft.aufirst=David+J.&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAnabolic+steroid" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-pmid25905231-242"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-pmid25905231_242-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-pmid25905231_242-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-pmid25905231_242-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFFeingoldAnawaltBlackmanBoyce2020" class="citation journal cs1">Feingold KR, Anawalt B, Blackman MR, Boyce A, Chrousos G, Corpas E, de Herder WW, Dhatariya K, Dungan K, Hofland J, Kalra S, Kaltsas G, Kapoor N, Koch C, Kopp P, Korbonits M, Kovacs CS, Kuohung W, Laferrère B, Levy M, McGee EA, McLachlan R, New M, Purnell J, Sahay R, Shah AS, Singer F, Sperling MA, Stratakis CA, Trence DL, Wilson DP, Handelsman DJ (5 October 2020). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/books/NBK279000/">"Androgen Physiology, Pharmacology, Use and Misuse"</a>. <i>Endotext</i>. <a href="/wiki/PMID_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="PMID (identifier)">PMID</a>&#160;<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25905231">25905231</a>. <q>The identification of a single gene and protein for the androgen receptor in 1988 (584-586) explains the physiologic observation that, at equivalent doses, all androgens have essentially similar effects (587). The term "anabolic steroid" was invented during the post-WWII golden age of steroid pharmacology to define an idealized androgen lacking virilizing features but maintaining myotrophic properties so that it could be used safely in children and women. Although this quest proved illusory and was abandoned after all industry efforts failed to identify such a hypothetical synthetic androgen, the obsolete term "anabolic steroid" persists mainly as a lurid descriptor in popular media despite continuing to make a false distinction where there is no difference. Better understanding of the metabolic activation of androgens via 5α-reduction and aromatization in target tissues and the tissue-specific partial agonist/antagonist properties of some synthetic androgens may lead to more physiological concepts of tissue-specific androgen action ("specific androgen receptor modulator") governed by the physiological processes of pre-receptor androgen activation as well as post-receptor interaction with co-regulator proteins analogous to the development of synthetic estrogen partial agonists with tissue specificity ("specific estrogen receptor modulator") (588). The potential for new clinical therapeutic indications of novel tissue-selective androgens in clinical development remain to be fully evaluated (589).</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&amp;rft.genre=article&amp;rft.jtitle=Endotext&amp;rft.atitle=Androgen+Physiology%2C+Pharmacology%2C+Use+and+Misuse&amp;rft.date=2020-10-05&amp;rft_id=info%3Apmid%2F25905231&amp;rft.aulast=Feingold&amp;rft.aufirst=KR&amp;rft.au=Anawalt%2C+B&amp;rft.au=Blackman%2C+MR&amp;rft.au=Boyce%2C+A&amp;rft.au=Chrousos%2C+G&amp;rft.au=Corpas%2C+E&amp;rft.au=de+Herder%2C+WW&amp;rft.au=Dhatariya%2C+K&amp;rft.au=Dungan%2C+K&amp;rft.au=Hofland%2C+J&amp;rft.au=Kalra%2C+S&amp;rft.au=Kaltsas%2C+G&amp;rft.au=Kapoor%2C+N&amp;rft.au=Koch%2C+C&amp;rft.au=Kopp%2C+P&amp;rft.au=Korbonits%2C+M&amp;rft.au=Kovacs%2C+CS&amp;rft.au=Kuohung%2C+W&amp;rft.au=Laferr%C3%A8re%2C+B&amp;rft.au=Levy%2C+M&amp;rft.au=McGee%2C+EA&amp;rft.au=McLachlan%2C+R&amp;rft.au=New%2C+M&amp;rft.au=Purnell%2C+J&amp;rft.au=Sahay%2C+R&amp;rft.au=Shah%2C+AS&amp;rft.au=Singer%2C+F&amp;rft.au=Sperling%2C+MA&amp;rft.au=Stratakis%2C+CA&amp;rft.au=Trence%2C+DL&amp;rft.au=Wilson%2C+DP&amp;rft.au=Handelsman%2C+DJ&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fsites%2Fbooks%2FNBK279000%2F&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAnabolic+steroid" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-pmid36644692-243"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-pmid36644692_243-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFBondSmitde_Ronde2022" class="citation journal cs1">Bond P, Smit DL, de Ronde W (2022). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9837614">"Anabolic-androgenic steroids: How do they work and what are the risks?"</a>. <i>Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)</i>. <b>13</b>: 1059473. <a href="/wiki/Doi_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="Doi (identifier)">doi</a>:<span class="id-lock-free" title="Freely accessible"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://doi.org/10.3389%2Ffendo.2022.1059473">10.3389/fendo.2022.1059473</a></span>. <a href="/wiki/PMC_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="PMC (identifier)">PMC</a>&#160;<span class="id-lock-free" title="Freely accessible"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9837614">9837614</a></span>. <a href="/wiki/PMID_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="PMID (identifier)">PMID</a>&#160;<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36644692">36644692</a>. <q>Anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS) are a class of natural and synthetic hormones that owe their name to their chemical structure (the steroid nucleus, see Figure 1) and the biological effects (anabolic and androgenic) they induce.
