Hepatatis in growth promoter treated cows.

Adult female beef cattle found positive for stanozolol in the urine were investigated for liver pathology. In all the animals toxic hepatitis was found, including cholestasis, periportal fibrosis and inflammation, focal necrosis and blood filled lacunae. As no clinical data of the cows were available, apart from the history of illegal stanozolol abuse, it is not possible to attribute all changes to the illegal hormone treatment. Moreover, the cows have probably been treated with a cocktail, and apart from stanozolol more anabolic steroids may have been used. Management factors, viral and bacterial infections, former caesarean sections and especially feeding regime may also be responsible for the lesions described. Striking similarities with data from hepatotoxicity found in human body builders using similar agents, however, suggest a major role of stanozolol as causative agent.

Too bad they don't elaborate on what the dosages were.

 

[Big Engineer]

key word there is "abuse"...

While I completely agree that abuse of stanozolol can lead to liver problems, this partular article should not be misinterpreted as a controlled experiment. This shows no cause and effect relationship between the two, as there are two many other variables which could have caused the problems.

Well, all i can say is.....good thing i just started my 100mg ed 10 week winny cycle two days ago.

Even though it had liver problems, i'll bet ya that was one fast cow!!!

100 mg ED winny in an athlete,

would be the same as 1 gram winny ED for a 1000 kilo cow. I don't think any farmer wants to give that to a (cow) shit load of cows. That might be pricy. So the cows investigated were on (much) lower dosages.

Still I would like to see these cows running faster than a horse
