1. All subjects of this study, which included both males and females, were already very, very sick; they were all suffering from HIV, and chronic wasting disease.
2. They were also all being treated with HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) which is itself extremely liver-toxic. (See, for example:

3. "Aside from HAART, other potential hepatotoxic agents such as fluconazole were administered to 23.9% of the study patients."
4. One group took 150mg/day for 16 weeks, while the other group took 100mg/day for 16 weeks. 16 weeks is more than twice as long as a typical cycle!
5. Despite already being very sick, and receiving multiple additional liver-toxic treatments, and despite taking anadrol for more than twice as long as a typical cycle, in the group taking 100mg/day only 25% had liver problems! This means that the majority, 75%, did not have liver issues!
6. "All liver-related side effects were reversible upon cessation of the drug study."
7. "Other side effects known to be caused by oxymetholone, such as peliosis hepatic, hyperglucagonemia, edema, and hypertension, were not observed in our study." This means no other harmful sides like bloat or high blood pressure were experienced.
