Avoid Falsely Accusing Female Athletes Who Use Levonorgestrel of Doping. [PDF]
Levonorgestrel, a hormonal contraceptive, metabolises to 18‐methyl‐19‐noretiocholanolone which is also the main metabolite of the prohibited substance 18‐methyl‐19‐nortestosterone. Analysing for levonorgestrel and/or tetrahydronorgestrel is essential to avoid misinterpreting 18‐methyl‐19‐noretiocholanolone findings.

Detection of doping substances in paired dried blood spots and urine samples collected during doping controls in Danish fitness centers. [PDF]
We developed a feasible, sensitive, and robust method for simultaneous detection of 19 selected prohibited substances from S1 to S5 in dried blood spots (DBS) and compared the detectability of these prohibited substances in paired DBS and urine samples collected during doping controls in Danish fitness centers. Abstract The use of dried blood spot (DBS)

Dietary Supplements as Source of Unintentional Doping. [PDF]
Background. The substances used in sport could be divided into two major groups: those banned by the World Anti‐Doping Agency and those which are not. The prohibited list is extremely detailed and includes a wide variety of both medicinal and nonmedicinal substances. Professional athletes are exposed to intense physical overload every day.

Effects of Dietary Protein Level on the Microbial Composition and Metabolomic Profile in Postweaning Piglets. [PDF]
Since the human and porcine digestive systems have similar anatomical structures and physiological functions, pigs are a useful animal model for studying human digestive diseases. By investigating intestinal metabolites in piglets after weaning, this study attempted to identify the inherent connection between dietary protein levels and changes in the ...

Effects of the administration of miconazole by different routes on the biomarkers of the "steroidal module" of the Athlete Biological Passport. [PDF]
The results obtained from the investigation of the influence of miconazole administration on the parameters included in the “steroidal module” of the Athlete Biological Passport were presented. After oral and buccal administration of miconazole, the levels of the markers of the steroid profile were significantly altered, whereas no effects were ...
