Glucose Uptake stimulates

Insulin Sensitivity

How well tissue responds to insulin. Falling sensitivity means higher fasting insulin for the same blood sugar, and it is one of the quieter costs of long steroid use.

Skeletal Muscle

The intended target. Dense in androgen receptors, and the tissue where the whole risk trade is being made.
