English Abstract

Sustanon is one of androgenic anabolic steroids ,which uses especially among young people and adolescent , and such drug has many long-term negative side effects , therefore , it has become a major health problem .This study was conducted to examine the effect of intramuscular injection of androgenic anabolic steroid (sustanon) on some immunological parameters in albino rats.

Three doses of sustanon (0.05 , 0.1 , 0.2) mg/kg/day were injected respectively for six weeks.

Immunological changes included a significant decrease (P < 0.05) in the levels of IL-1β for males treated group in comparison with the control group , while there was a significant increase (P > 0.05) in its level for females treated group , compared with the healthy subject group .

Meantime , there was a significant increase (P > 0.05) in the concentrations of IL-6 and C-reactive protein (C-RP) of both gender groups , compared with the control groups .
