-Steroids are a synthetic version of the male hormone, testosterone.

-HGH (Human Growth Hormone) is a synthetic form of the body’s natural growth hormone.

-Human growth hormone can increase muscle mass and reduce the amount of body fat in healthy older adults. That is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the liver to produce IGF-1, the hormone ultimately responsible for anabolic muscle growth

-The increase in muscle doesn't translate into increased strength.

-Negative side effects are: carpal tunnel syndrome nerve, muscle, or joint pain swelling of the arms and legs from fluid retention, high cholesterol levels numb and tingling skin an increased risk of heart disease and diabete growth of cancerous tumors growth of facial features, hands, and feet mood changes, dependency, and withdrawal an enlarged heart

low blood sugar liver damage fatigue enlarged breasts in men.

-Several hormones play a critical role in bodybuilding and strength training.

-Other hormones such as cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and glucagon increase the availability of glucose, your body's primary source of fuel.

-If you want to gain muscle mass, there are ways to stimulate hormone production without the need of illegal supplements.

-Testosterone, growth hormone (GH), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) increase strength and stimulate muscle growth.

-Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands and is often called the stress hormone because its release is triggered by physical and/or emotional stress.

Inexperienced syringe users can slash an artery and bleed to death, create blood clots, or hit a nerve and risk permanent paralysis. Long-term use can, according to Graham, lead to carpal tunnel syndrome (the compression of nerves in the wrists, which causes incessant tingling), raised blood sugar levels (which can trigger Type 2 diabetes), heart failure and – in excessive doses – gigantism, the disproportionate growth of body parts.

Men Are Turning to HGH to Look and Feel Younger

As soon as Ryan, a Nashville entrepreneur, hit 30, he was convinced: His personal life was over. “The wrinkles were right around the corner,” he says. All the fun had already been had. So he booked an appointment with an anti-aging specialist, looking to start a regimen of what he’d heard described as “the fountain-of-youth serum” — human growth hormone, or HGH. After an initial screening, which included a full-body physical and some blood work, he was handed a prescription for daily injections. A box of vials showed up at his front door the next day

Much like anabolic steroids are a synthetic version of the male hormone testosterone, synthetic HGH is … a synthetic form of the body's natural growth hormone. ... Both HGH and steroids can be prescribed by a doctor and both have been known to aid athletic performance.

Although it appears that human growth hormone can increase muscle mass and reduce the amount of body fat in healthy older adults, the increase in muscle doesn't translate into increased strength. It isn't clear if human growth hormone might provide other benefits to healthy adults.

Epinephrine (adrenaline) is called the "fight or flight" hormone because it acts quickly at times of stress to constrict arteries and raise blood pressure. This increases your heart rate to deliver oxygen more effectively.

Testosterone is responsible for the development of male physical characteristics, muscle mass, strength, fat distribution.
In women, testosterone is produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands, albeit in lower quantities.
