Recombinant human erythropoietin in sports: a review
sis, as they secrete about 90% of all systemic EPO. The liver makes about 10% of all EPO1,2. Due to its inherent ability to stimulate red cell production, and thus increase oxygen delivery to the tissues, the use of EPO was banned in sports by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 19873. Depending on the sports modality, EPO administration to elite athletes may lead to an artificial perf...
متن کاملEffects of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Pretreatment on Anti-HLA Antibody Titer: A Preclinical Experience in Rats
Background: Erythropoietin (EPO) was first known as a factor for red blood cell proliferation and differentiation. New studies show the effects of EPO on immune system. Objective: In this study, the effects of pretreatment with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on the anti-human leukocyte antibody (anti-HLA) titer were determined. Methods: Three groups of rats were sensitized with human...
متن کاملHyporesponsiveness to recombinant human erythropoietin.
The introduction of recombinant human erythropoietin (rh-Epo, epoetin) as a treatment for the anaemia of renal failure has transformed the management of this condition. Nevertheless, a significant number of patients fail to respond. There are many different possible causes of inadequate response to epoetin. Iron deficiency, whether absolute or functional, is considered to be the most important,...
متن کاملTesting for recombinant human erythropoietin.
ERYTHROPOIETIN (Epo) may have effects on exercise capacity and physiological regulation beyond a simple increase in red cell mass and the associated improvement in oxygen transport (4). In the context of a larger study on this topic, Lundby and colleagues (11) also asked questions about the reliability of urine testing for recombinant human Epo (rHuEpo). They studied eight healthy male subjects...
متن کاملRecombinant Human Erythropoietin in Children with Solid Tumors and Chemotherapy-induced Anemia
Background: In patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, anemia is part of the progression of the disease. Considering the effects of anemia on quality of life of the patients, the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced anemia is crucial. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of recombinant human erythropoietin in reducing the need for blood transfusion in children with sol...
