Anabolism=onstructive metabolism characterized by the building of tissue into more complex living matter, mainly muscle.
Anabolic=romoting anabolism
Anabolic steroid= any one of several compounds derived from testosterone or prepared synthetically to promote general body growth, to oppose the effects of endogenous estrogen, or to promote masculinization effects. They have a chemical structure similar to cholesterol.
Androgen= any steroid hormone that promotes male characteristics.
Aromatize= the on take of feminine characteristics or feminization.
Atrophy= refers to a state of deterioration usually within the muscle or bodily organ due to a lack of use or health.
Catabolism= a complex metabolic process in which energy is liberated for use in work, energy storage, or heat production by the destruction of complex substances. Basically muscle tissue is broken down when a person is in a catabolic state and the use of anabolic steroids will change this.
Cholesterol= a fatty substance found in animals that performs many vital functions and is synthesized by the liver and the adrenal cortex.
Bitch Tits= a slang term for gynecomastia.
Gynecomastia= an abnormal enlargement of one or both breasts in men. This condition is usually temporary due to a hormonal imbalance brought on by the use of steroids, however, can occur naturally as well.
Freaky= A bodybuilding term used to describe a person who is huge and obviously on steroids.
Fakes or basement drug= refers to counterfeit or fake steroids.

Masculinization.
