Abstract: In contemporary society, influenced by media ideals, the pursuit of an aesthetic body extends beyond health boundaries, with adolescents often drawn to the positive effects of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) for physical enhancement. However, the dearth of knowledge about the repercussions on the adolescent body necessitates exploration. AAS misuse, prevalent in gyms, poses health risks, particularly with doses surpassing therapeutic levels. Adverse effects include metabolic, endocrine, cardiovascular, hepatic, neural, aesthetic, behavioral, and psychiatric consequences. This study aims to assess the impact of testosterone and protein supplements (Whey Protein) on prepubertal rats, utilizing an experimental model involving 40 male Wistar albino rats divided into four groups. The research adheres to ethical standards, seeking to enhance our understanding of the intricate hormonal dynamics affected by these substances, contributing to the broader discourse on adolescent health and well-being.
Keywords: Protein, Physical Exercise, Testosterone, Wistar Rats.
