Growth Stunting/Growth Plate Closure

**LAGMuXle** · 06-09-2003, 07:00 PM

Just for some general discussion and out of curiosity. Which drugs initiate growth plate closure the most? Which don't? I've read several articles on individual steroids , but nothing that actually sums up the situation between steroids and growth plate closure, unless it was degrading steroids in general.

This doesn't relate to me directly, since I have stopped growing - awhile ago. But just thought I'd inquire about something that has wondered me in the past.

Any and all opinions bros...

Thanks.

I thought it was estrogen that causes growth plate closure.

I was pretty sure it was as well, I've read that estrogen is the main thing that causes it... but I've also heard nicotene does it somehow as well... and steroids of course, ALL steroids supposedly (excluding oxandrolone) cause growth plate closure... but not ALL of them have aromitizing properties.....

** reason for mentioning nicotene was to point out that estrogen isn't the only reason growth plates close... so there could be another reason involving steroids **
