Detection of doping with Ghrelin: Determination of blood profiles and urinary excretion, and stimulation of GH release after intravenous injection in athletes
Resource description
Project Title: Detection of doping with Ghrelin: Determination of blood profiles and urinary excretion, and stimulation of GH release after intravenous injection in athletes
Researchers: P. Platen, M. Lebenstedt
Institution: German Sport University, Cologne, Germany
Year accepted: 2002
Summary: The study will be conducted of two steps. In step one we will determine spontaneous action of ghrelin, dependent hormones like GH and lOFs and binding proteins under different conditions in athletes. We will investigate female and male athletes of different sports (especially endurance and power) and different body composition, at rest, during and after exercise (competition and training) and under several nutritional states. We will measure plasma concentrations and will work on establishing a method for measurement of urinary ghrelin concentrations as well.
