Resource description
Project Title: Cardiovascular and central actions of drugs classed as stimulants
Researcher: Dr. Docherty
Institution: Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland
Year approved: 2011
Summary: In this project, the stimulant actions of a wide range of compounds, prohibited, specified, monitored or unlisted, will be investigated in pharmacological and physiological bioassays in an animal model. This study will provide data giving direct measurement of the relative potencies of a wide range of stimulants at a number of biomarkers of stimulant action. The results will allow informed decisions on the doping potential of monitored substances relative to prohibited or unlisted substances.
