Anabolic and Androgenic Steroids

Anabolic and androgenic steroids - The male and female sex organs, the adrenal cortex, and the placenta, all produce steroidal hormones which influence the development and maintenance of the structures directly and indirectly associated with reproduction. The secretion of sex hormones is controlled by the gonadotropic hormones of anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

Anabolic steroids and other substances with androgenic effects may have a virilising effect on the female fetus. Animal studies have shown that high doses of progestagens can cause masculization of the female fetus. Cyprotone acetate, an antiandrogen, carries the potential for feminisation of the male fetus and should therefore be avoided during pregnancy.
