Implications of RNA-seq in the detection of anabolic steroid use and harnessing of the molecular mechanism of muscle memory

Resource description

Project Title: Implications of RNA-seq in the detection of anabolic steroid use and harnessing of the molecular mechanism of muscle memory

Researchers: Dr. F. Pigozzi, Dr. P. Borrione

Institution: University of Rome “Foro Italico”, Italy

Year accepted: 2017

Summary: In the proposed project, gene expression profiling of skeletal muscle in response to AAS exposure will be carried out using total RNA-seq. The molecular, histological and training response markers will be integrated for the detection of short- and long-term effects of AAS and will be incorporated into the steroid module of the Athlete Biological Passport for improved validity and reliability.
