The Hematologic Effects of Androgens

  • Chapter
Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids

Abstract

Many clinical and experimental findings extending over a span of more than four decades indicate that androgens have a noteworthy effect on red cell formation. The earliest clinical reports of the erythropoietic stimulating properties of androgens were hematologic observations in women receiving large doses of testosterone as therapy of metastatic breast carcinoma (Talbot and Escher, 1949; Kennedy et al., 1949).
