Ergogenic uses for anabolic steroids in sports, racing, and bodybuilding as performance-enhancing drugs are controversial because of their adverse effects and the potential to gain unfair advantage is considered cheating.Their use is referred to as doping and banned by all major sporting bodies.igh doses of oral anabolic steroid compounds can cause liver damage, as the steroids are metabolized (17Î±- alkylated) in the digestive system to increase their bioavailability and stability. Peliosis hepatis has been increasingly recognised with the use of anabolic steroids.
Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it joins the amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of a neighboring amino acid. The linear sequence of amino acids within a protein is considered the primary structure of the protein.Proteins are built from a set of only twenty amino acids, each of which has a unique side chain. The side chains of amino acids have different chemistries.The largest group of amino acids have nonpolar side chains.he linear sequence of amino acids within a protein is considered the primary structure of the protein.

The three-dimensional shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure. The order of amino acids establishes a protein's structure and specific function. The distinct instructions for the order of amino acids are designated by the genes in a cell. There are two types of secondary structures observed in proteins. 2  One type is the alpha (Î±) helix structure. 3  This structure resembles a coiled spring and is secured by hydrogen bonding in the polypeptide chain. 4  The second type of secondary structure in proteins is the beta (Î²) pleated sheet.
