Which of the following is NOT an adverse effect of anabolic steroids in females?

Severe acne
Increased libido
Increased body fat
Development of a deep voice

The correct answer is: Increased body fat

Increased body fat is not typically associated with anabolic steroid use in females. Anabolic steroids are synthetic derivatives of testosterone that can lead to various changes in body composition. While these substances can lead to an increase in muscle mass, they generally do not increase body fat. In fact, many users may experience a decrease in adipose tissue due to the muscle-building effects and the metabolism-boosting properties of steroids. The other options listed, such as severe acne, increased libido, and the development of a deep voice, are well-documented adverse effects. Anabolic steroids can increase oil production in the skin, leading to severe acne. They also may enhance libido due to increased testosterone levels. Additionally, the virilizing effects of steroids can result in changes in vocal cords, causing a deeper voice in females. Therefore, increased body fat stands out as the option that does not align with the common adverse effects of anabolic steroid use.
