Abstract
Data from human subjects given various amounts of anabolic steroids show that the
resultant increment in lean body mass (LBM) has the features of a typical dose response
curve. Low doses produce a very modest effect, while large doses result in a progressive
augmentation of the LBM. Endogenous testosterone production during male adolescence
is accompanied by a sex differential in LBM that is comparable to the LBM increment
generated by exogenous steroids given to adults.
