Testosteroni, anaboliset steroidit ja aggressiivisuus

Testosteroni, anaboliset steroidit ja aggressiivisuus ovat yhteydessä toisiinsa, mutta syy-seuraussuhde ei ole selkeä. Tässä tietoartikkelissa esitellään aggression mahdollisia taustatekijöitä ja anabolisten steroidien vaikutuksia käytökseen ja mielialaan.

Naisten dopingin käytön erityispiirteet

Naisten dopingin käyttö on huomattavasti harvinaisempaa kuin miesten. Tässä tietoartikkelissa kerrotaan eroista naisten ja miesten dopingkäytön tavoissa, motiiveissa ja vaikutuksissa.
