If you're like me, you learned about the Declaration of Independence when you were in grade school-if not, that's the thing that says, "All men are created equal." You then went out into the schoolyard for recess, and for some reason, maybe you couldn't run as fast as some of your classmates. Perhaps you couldn't jump as high, or throw a ball as far. All men created equal? Bah! What a load of garbage!
If you have used oral steroids you will no doubt be familiar with the term c-17-alpha alkylated. This refers to the chemical alteration that enables the steroid to survive the first pass through the liver - allowing nearly all of the drug to enter the bloodstream. Now, while this is good on paper, the fact is that prolonged exposure to c-17-alpha alkylated drugs (which most orals are) can put a serious strain on the liver. It is for this reason that oral cycles should be restricted in length (usually less than 8 weeks) and liver enzyme values should be kept in check via blood work.
