Steroids And Blood (part 2)

Glucose is not normally a concern for the weight trainer, but should be as some medicines can affect blood sugar levels adversely, as well as the fact that a weight trainer will take in more carbohydrates than a normal person, raised levels can indicate onset of diabetes.

Aspartate transferase; An enzyme primarily for the heart and liver, a raised level usually an indication of hepatitis associated with viruses or alcohol, but can also be caused by tissue breakdown of skeletal muscle (as in heavy weight training), normal levels hit 45.

Alaine Transferase; A primary liver enzyme elevated from alcohol abuse, viral illness or diseases of the liver. (I get an elevated level from my Sarcoidosis, other diseases will also elevate this enzyme marker). Usually higher in males. Normal count is 40.

Alkaline Phosphatase is an enzyme present in both the liver and the bones and its medium range varies while the bone plates are growing, so it presence will naturally rise with age. Heavy workout sessions won't alter this enzymes presence unless you are taking a growth hormone within your cycle. If you are, then tell your Doctor or you might be diagnosed as having bone disease. As a point of interest the normal range is between 30 and 95.

Creatine Phosphatase is an enzyme found in our organism and if a high rate is found in adults with a normal daily activity, it could indicate kidney disease, muscle injury or acute injury. If you as a body builder have a high level, you will have to tell your doctor that your high levels are probably only due to 500lb dead lift you did the day before, where as my high levels are due to my supplement with creatine monohydrate. The average rate is 225.

The average level of BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) would measure round 9 to 24 and elevated levels would indicate a high protein intake or excessive protein breakdown in an average active person. Due to the average intake of 3 - 4 whey protein or protein isolate powder preparations by a body builder, make sure you inform your Doctor before he gives his diagnostic on the test results.

There is a 17-alpha-alkylated chemical attached to most oral steroids, which keeps the liver from destroying the active ingredients once it passes through. This of course causes wear and tear (like the wear and tear on your mouth you would expect chewing glass-fibre chewing gum) so if you have a potential for liver problems avoid oral anabolic's that have been 17-apha-alkylated treated. If in doubt buy the Layman's Guides I and II to find a more liver friendly anabolic stack.
