(a) The On-cycle anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) users had significantly higher lower plasma and 24-hr cortisol levels than off-cycle AAS users or heavy exercising controls (HECs). Likelihoood ratio (LR) χ2 =5.99, p < .05 for AAS group on plasma cortisol. (b) On-cycle AAS using group had significantly lower 24-hour urinary cortisol than (HECs) and the Off-cycle using group. LR χ2 =6.79, p < .05 for effect of APED group on 24-hour urinary cortisol. Error bars represent standard errors of the mean. *p < .05. **p < .01.
