Development of intact hCG reference intervals in normal male urine samples for establishing a threshold value for doping control
Resource description
Project Title: Development of intact hCG reference intervals in normal male urine samples for establishing a threshold value for doping control
Researcher: Dr. A. Butch
Institution: UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory, USA
Year accepted: 2014
Summary: In the present study we plan to determine the concentration of intact hCG in 600 non-doping male urine samples using the recently developed immunoextraction method with LC-MS/MS detection. Half of the urine samples will be from normal male volunteers and the other half from non-doping male athletes. The data from this study will be immediately used to determine the appropriate threshold concentration for confirming doping with hCG.
