and I think I got it right the first time and that anabolic steroids increase prostaglandins.  (Cortisol is said to have the opposite effect apparently from one site.)  I guess that although you make cortisol in abundance due to the continual activity, it is never quite enough to stomp on the anabolic steroids made to excess.   In either case I guess in LOCAH you most definately have the elevated androgens and it doesn’t sound like a good situation where pregnancy is concerned towards the end.
