Steroids Lingering Effects

Research found that even years after abstaining from steroid use — and little or no weight training — muscle fiber density and increased number of cell nuclei were comparable to drug-free athletes performing high-intensity strength-training. Additional cell nuclei could help former dopers because more nuclei = more protein synthesis = more muscle.

Juices Counter Medicine

Research finds that grapefruit juice, orange juice, apple juice and other fruit juices can severely decrease the absorption of certain drugs. Juice ingredients appear to block a molecule that carries drugs from the small intestine into the bloodstream. This means that a lot of medicine just flushes out without reaching its target.
