Catabolic steroids, often referred to as corticosteroids, can lead to the breakdown of muscle tissue and the suppression of protein synthesis in the body. They are used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system, but prolonged use can result in muscle wasting, weight gain, and other metabolic changes. Additionally, they can affect bone density and increase the risk of osteoporosis. Overall, while they can be beneficial for certain medical conditions, their catabolic effects can have negative implications for muscle mass and overall health.
