Abstract Introduction Because of the activities and effects they induce, hormones are prohibited for use anabolic purposes in farm animals intended slaughter, which is regulated European Union by relevant legal provisions. Therefore, there an obligation to monitor residues food animal origin ensure consumer safety. A hormone banned but used formerly fattening cattle, stanozolol, its metabolite ...

We have studied the Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and the Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman) spectra of stanozolol and oxandrolone, and we have performed quantum chemical calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) with a B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) level of theory. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra were collected in a solid phase. The consistency between the calculated and experimental ...

The work described herein examines a rapid mix-and-measure method called DETECHIP suitable for screening of steroids and metabolites. The addition of steroids and metabolites to reactive arrays of colorimetric sensors generated characteristic color "fingerprints" that were used to identify the analyte. A color analysis tool was used to identify the analyte pool that now includes biologically re...

Doping has long been a matter of private concern for sports insiders. Since 1988, however, when Ben Johnson was stripped of his gold medal at the Seoul Olympics after he tested positive for the steroid stanozolol, doping increasingly has become a matter of public concern. Johnson’s claim that he took drugs to level the playing field—suggesting that most if not all of his elite competitors were ...

Doping with anabolic agents is a topic in sports where strength is crucial, e.g. sprinting, weight lifting and many more. Testosterone and its functional analogs are the drugs of choice taken as pills, creams, tape or injections to increase muscle mass and body performance, and to reduce body fat. Stanozolol (17beta-hydroxy-17alpha-methyl-5alpha-androst-2-eno[3,2c]pyrazol) is a testosterone ana...

The effects of phenformin and ethyloestrenol and phenformin and stanozolol on the clinical state, plasma fibrinolytic activity, and fibrinogen-fibrin-related antigen (F.R.-antigen) were compared with placebo in 13 patients with cutaneous vasculitis. Eight patients showed considerable clinical improvement when taking phenformin and an anabolic steroid; an impaired fibrinolytic activity before tr...
