C
Feedback:
Therapeutic effects include promotion of body tissue-building processes, reverse catabolic or tissue-destroying processes, and increased hemoglobin and red blood cell mass. Thinning of the skin and body hair loss are not associated effects of anabolic steroids. Gynecomastia is an adverse effect and would not be a therapeutic effect for which the drug was administered.
