Abstract:
The increasing number of trauma cases resulting in tendon tears or degenerative tendinopathy leading to complicated ruptures require the replacement of damaged tissue, especially in elderly patients and athletes. Anabolic steroids stimulate muscle growth, which increases muscle protein synthesis, induces type I and II fiber hypertrophy, stimulates and activates satellite cell replication, and ultimately increases muscle strength.
