  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Introduction</jats:title> <jats:p>The abuse of anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs) is a source of public concern because of their adverse effects. Supratherapeutic doses of AASs are known to be hepatotoxic and regulate the lipoproteins in plasma by modifying the metabolism of lipids in the liver, which is associated with metabolic diseases. However, the effect of AASs on the profile of lipids in plasma is unknown.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Objectives</jats:title> <jats:p>To describe the changes in the plasma lipidome exerted by AASs and to discuss these changes in the light of previous research about AASs and de novo lipogenesis in the liver.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods</jats:title> <jats:p>We treated male <jats:italic>Wistar</jats:italic> rats with supratherapeutic doses of nandrolone decanoate and testosterone undecanoate. Subsequently, we isolated the blood plasma and performed lipidomics analysis by liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>Lipid profiling revealed a decrease of sphingolipids and glycerolipids with palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, and oleic acids. In addition, lipid profiling revealed an increase in free fatty acids and glycerophospholipids with odd-numbered chain fatty acids and/or arachidonic acid.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title> <jats:p>The lipid profile presented herein reports the imprint of AASs on the plasma lipidome, which mirrors the downregulation of de novo lipogenesis in the liver. In a broader perspective, this profile will help to understand the influence of androgens on the lipid metabolism in future studies of diseases with dysregulated lipogenesis (e.g. type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma).</jats:p> </jats:sec>
