Episode 27: Guest interview with Alexander Kolliari-Turner on Steroid Research

In todays episode we bring you Alex Kolliari-Turner is a 3rd year PhD student at the University of Brighton working on a project that for the FIRST TIME is monitoring human anabolic steroid users whilst they cycle off steroids to see how much muscle mass they retain and if their muscle exhibits a "memory" of previous exposure.

Studies in mice have shown that after steroid exposure mice loose muscle mass, but their muscle retains high levels of "myonuclei" (which are the structural units responsible for creating muscle protein), suggesting that the benefits of steroids may be long lasting and your ability to build muscle may always be "enhanced". 

If you are a male, aged 20-40 years old and a current or past anabolic steroid user you would be eligible to take part and have a fully expenses paid trip to the University of Brighton. If you are on TRT you may also be eligible to take part dependent on your current TRT dosage and date of previous exposure. Please email Alex on A.Kolliari-Turner@brighton.ac.uk to find out more.
