In the Netherlands an estimated 20,000 people use anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS). The use of AAS is particularly common in regular visitors to gyms and fitness centres. AAS are usually synthetic derivatives of testosterone with both an anabolic and an androgenic effect. AAS have many side effects like liver damage (oral use) or infections (intramuscular use), which can be explained partly by the androgenic effect and partly by the manner of use. Many of these side effects are only reported in case studies and have not been systematically investigated.
在荷兰，估计有2万人使用合成代谢雄激素类固醇（AAS）。AAS的使用在经常光顾健身房和健身中心的人群中尤为普遍。AAS通常是睾酮的合成衍生物，具有合成代谢和雄激素效应。AAS有许多副作用，如肝损伤（口服）或感染（肌肉注射），部分可由雄激素效应解释，部分可由使用方式解释。这些副作用中的许多仅在案例研究中被报道，尚未得到系统研究。
