Thought this might interest people. A study shows that trenbolone causes neurodegeneration in rats. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25461682)
From the abstract:
"In the present study, 17β-trenbolone was administered to adult and pregnant rats and the primary hippocampal neurons...17β-trenbolone accumulated in adult rat brain, especially in the hippocampus, and in the fetus brain...17β-trenbolone induced apoptosis of primary hippocampal neurons in vitro and resisted neuroprotective function of testosterone...17β-trenbolone played critical roles in neurodegeneration."
It seems that this is probably an effect particular to trenbolone and not anabolic steroids in general, as studies indicate testosterone may actually prevent neurodegeneration.
