AAS profoundly alter lipid metabolism through two primary mechanisms: suppression of hepatic lipase activity (reducing HDL clearance is reversed, causing HDL suppression) and upregulation of LDL receptor downregulation (increasing circulating LDL). The result is an atherogenic lipid profile with low HDL and high LDL/ApoB that closely resembles a familial hypercholesterolemia pattern.
