What is the difference between anabolic steroids and corticosteroids?
Corticosteroids are medications used to treat inflammatory, immune, and allergic disorders. They treat severe Allergies, Arthritis, Asthma, lupus, and skin conditions such as eczema and rashes. They can also treat ear and eye problems and rectal conditions. Corticosteroids are immunosuppressive, that is, they decrease the activity of the immune system and, thus, they are recommended for short-term use only. Doctors are careful about prescribing corticosteroids because of the possible side effects. Corticosteroids are strong medicines, and they carry a risk of side effects such as: weakened bones (osteoporosis), cataracts, increased risk of infections, elevated pressure in the eyes (glaucoma) and so on. Examples of corticosteroids: Hydrocortisone, Prednisone, Prednisolone, Cortisporin, Flovent, Orapred, Mometasone, Triamcinolone, Cortisone shots. Anabolic steroids are man-made substances related to the male sex hormone. Medical uses of anabolic steroids include some hormone problems in men, late puberty, and muscle loss from some diseases. Anabolic steroids are classified as a C-III drug and are controlled by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Examples of anabolic steroids: Anadrol (oxymetholone), Oxandrin (oxandrolone), Winstrol (stanozolol), Dianabol (methandrostenolone), Equipoise (boldenone), Deca-Durabolin (nandrolone). Anabolic steroids are also called performance-enhancing drugs because bodybuilders and athletes often use anabolic steroids to build muscles and to improve athletic performance. But, it is illegal and unsafe for bodybuilders and athletes to use anabolic steroids for increasing muscle mass, strength and endurance because anabolic steroids have long-term harmful effects. The harmful effects include: -- kidney failure -- acne and cysts -- aggressive behavior -- liver disease, including cancer -- heart problems, including heart attack -- breast growth and shrinking of testicles in men

What are the side effects of legal steroids?
What are the side effects of LEGAL steroids? The difference between legal and illegal steroids is a prescription. So, if you're taking LEGAL steroids, you're on a really low dose of testosterone, and the side effects will be minimal.However, you probably want to know the side effects of illegal, anabolic steroids. Believe it or not, there are very few DOCUMENTED adverse health related side effects of taking anabolic steroids. The side effects we are warned about are unproven. There are no actual studies that prove these so called side effects are true. (I must say, there are also no studies that prove the so called side effects are UN true as well.) In short- the answer to your question- we don't know.However, it certainly does SEEM like we KNOW. Here is an example a typical answer to your question- WBMD (see link 1).It talks, with certainty and specificity about side effects from hair loss to stroke and heart attack! Then, in the next sentence, after they've preached to us the horrors of steroids with dogmatic assertion, it reads,"Treatment for abuse of anabolic steroids has not been studied much"So there are a lot of people suffering symptoms from steroid abuse, and even DYING from steroid abuse, but there's not record of what has and hasn't worked for treatment? Probably not. Most likely, there actually AREN'T very many, if any cases of serious side effect from steroids, which is WHY they don't study the treatment much. (IE- if there's noone to treat, theres no treatment.)Here are some references for you if you want to really investigate the "other side of the story" when it comes to how "bad" steroids are for us:Theres a National Geographic Documentary Called "The Science of Steroids" That asks the question, where's the proof? (see link 2 + 3)Theres also a Blog that talks about it. (see link 4)
What is the difference between anabolic and catabolic?
Catabolism is breaking down process or degradation phase. It happens when you are sick or fasting (not eating). Anabolism is biosynthesis process or reduction phase like making protein from amino acids.

What is the difference between the use of steroids in baseball compared to the use of steroids in football?
Both sports have many guys taking steroids. Football players tend to lift for bulk as well as for speed and strength while baseball players focus on the latter two. The biggest difference is not the drugs they take, because they both use similar stuff, but rather the workouts they do. Baseball is not a contact sport like football so mass is not necessarily a key ingredient. Instead they have to be ready for a 150+ game season so higher repetitions with lower weight will give the strength as well as the endurance they need. So to answer the question the use of steroids is very similar in both.
Should steroid use be allowed in professional sports?
Well, that question brings a few other important questions to the table and I'm not so sure it can be answered with a simple yes or no. There are many myths that are both misleading and most are downright untrue.FACT: to date. not 1 death has been directly caused by anabolic steroid abuse in the medical community.FACT: Anabolic steroids did not even make the top 100 list of the harmful drug "classificiations". They were at 144 in the mid 1990's. So analyze that statement closely, not the 144 most dangerous drug , the most dangerous drug classification. Daily multivitamins, childrens vitamins and even aspirin were in the top 50.FACT: Lyle Alzado DID NOT die of a steroid related death. The coroner made a very clear statement saying he seen no link between the anabolic steroid use and Mr. Alzado's brain tumor.FACT: Marijuana, cigarettes, alcohol and even aspirin are far more toxic that anabolic steroids.FACT: Anabolic steroids work, and they certainly serve a medical purpose.Myth: it will shrink your penis (in fact quite the opposite is true), it does temperarily shrink your testicles.Here's a thought, every pro level bodybuilder takes 1000's of milligrams a week of anabolic steroids for decades on end. Where are the dead bodies?Yes, steroids should be legal. It's a matter of personal choice just as choosing to smoke cigarettes or eating a cheeseburger. Most of the adverse health claims made by some organizations have absolutely no clinical evidence to back any of their claims. Anabolic androgenic steroids greatly improve the lives of people with muscle wasting diseases because they improve a person's human body, not the opposite. When made illegal in 1993, the American Medical Association, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Food and Drug Administration ALL OPPOSED making steroids an illegal schedule 3 controlled substance. When made illegal in 1993, the American Medical Association, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Food and Drug Administration ALL OPPOSED making steroids an illegal schedule 3 controlled substance. Remember that steroids are produced from male hormones, just as birth control are made from female hormones. They should be legal.Some steroids are legal and some steroids are not legal. Generally the steroids which has a side effect is not legal steroid because generally it is harmful. And some steroids which is really effects good on the body is legal steroids.They need to make weed legal too(just a thought).
