Skeletal muscle proteome alterations after long term anabolic steroid abuse
Resource description
Project Title: Skeletal muscle proteome alterations after long term anabolic steroid abuse
Researchers: C. Malm, L. Frangsmyr (Umea University, Umea, Sweden), A. Eriksson (Lulea University of Technology, Lulea, Sweden)
Year accepted: 2008
Summary: Results from the present study should be used as a base for further investigations regarding long term (possible permanent) effect of AAS and may also be used to generate indirect test (hormones, metabolites, proteins) to screen athletes for the use of banned substances in blood, muscle and urine. The advantage of this approach compared to direct measurements of banned substances or its metabolites is that masking agents and clearance rates will be ineffective to avoid detection.
