Q

Anabolic Agents

A
  • Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS)
  • clenbuterol

  • increase FFM, strength
  • reduced fat mass
  • facilitate recovery after exhaustive exercise
  • increased potassium and nitrogen
  • leads to male expression (deep voice, bald,etc
  • synthetic form of testosterone
  • minimizes androgenic effects

Q

Clenbuterol

A
  • bronchodilator (beta 2 agonist)
  • stimulant
  • banned in US but prescribed for asthma in europe
  • stimulates metabolism decrease body fat
  • has anabolic properties
  • decreases smooth muscle activation and opens airways
23
Q

Peptide hormones, growth factors, related substances

A
  • EPO-erythropoiesis (stimulating agent) most popular
  • CERA- continuous erythropoietin receptor activator (same as EPO but lasts longer)
  • Chorionic Gonadotropin (hcg)
  • growth hormone
24
Q

Peptide hormones

A
  • bind w/ receptors

- does not directly interact w/ nucleus

25
Q

EPO benefits

A
  • slightly different from blood doping
  • natural kidney hormone
  • stimulates RBC production
  • increases hematocrit
  • increases oxygen carrying capacity
  • increase hemoglobin and VO2max
  • increases time to exhaustion
26
Q

EPO risks

A
  • dangerous increase in blood viscosity
  • blood clots, heart attack, heart failure, stroke
  • pulmonary embolism, hypertension
27
Q

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HcG)

A
  • stimulates restoration of size and production of the testes
  • only used if you have been using AAS or testosterone
28
Q

Human Growth Hormone benefits

A
  • stimulates protein nucleic acid sythesis
  • stimulates bone growth (young athletes)
  • stimulates IGF-1 synthesis (increases muscle mass)
  • mobilizes FFA’s and decreases fat mass
  • increases blood glucose levels
  • no androgenic or psychological effects
  • young athletes no anabolic effects
  • older men:increase FFM & bone density
29
Q

HGH risks

A
  • acromegaly (enlarged brow, jaw, feet, hands, torso)
  • cardiomyopathy, hypertension
  • glucose intolerance/diabetes
30
Q

Beta-2 Agonists

A
  • adrenergic receptor agonist (catacholimine receptor)
  • improves the receptors
  • relaxes smooth muscle in lungs (asthma treatment)
  • large doses may stimulate increase in muscle mass
31
Q

Hormone and Metabolic Modulators

A
  • anti-estrogen prevents conversion of testosterone to estrogen (masks drug use)
  • myostatin inhibitors increase muscle mass
32
Q

Myostatin

A
  • protein in muscle that regulates size of muscle

- no myostatin will lead to increased muscle mass

33
Q

masking agents

A
  • diuretics increase urine production and excretion
  • used for weight reduction and masking other drugs
  • causes weight loss
  • can lead to dehydration, impaired thermoregulation, and electrolyte imbalances
34
Q

Oxygen transfer enhancements

A
  • blood doping
  • increases total volume of red blood cells via transfusion
  • improves endurance performance by increasing O2 carrying capactiy
  • increases VO2 max and time to exhaustion
  • can cause blood clotting, heart failure, transfusion complications
  • short and long distance performance enhanced
35
Q

manipulation of drug testing

A

-blood transfusions, urinating w/ catheter

36
Q

  • banned in advance
  • still in experimental phases
  • long term effects are unknown

Q

Stimulants

A
  • mimic catacholamines
  • caffeine, cocaine, methanphedamines
  • increase mental alertness, bp, hr, blood glucose, and muscle tension

  • contraversial
40
Q

glucocorticosteroids

  • ainti inflammatory durgs
  • used to treat asthma
  • produces a feeling of euphoria unfair advantage
  • athletes to mask pain felt from injury and illness
41
Q

Alcohol

A
  • alcohol is a depressant

- performance enhancing for shooting sports

42
Q

  • prevent norepinephrine from binding
  • improves accuracy for shooting
  • not used for athletic sports
43
Q

A
  • doesn’t ban alcohol

- bans caffeine

44
Q

NFL

A

Does not test for HGH

45
Q

NBA

A

drug abuse, steroids, etc

46
Q

MLB

A

drug abuse (cocaine), steroids, and stimulants

47
Q

Creatine benefits

A
  1. stores energy and increases regeneration of ATP
  2. enhances energy transfer from mitochondria to muscle fiber
  3. helps buffer H+
  4. stimulates glycogen breakdown
  5. increases muscle size
48
Q

creatine cont.

A
  • benefits depend on initial fitness levels
  • increase strength and power
  • increase body weight and lean body mass
  • increase sprint performance
49
Q

Creatine misc. benefits

A
  • 3 day supplementation increases volume and performance
  • good for weightlifters and athletes with explosive short bursts
  • improves working memory and intelligence
  • side effect is weight gain
50
Q

Creatine use

A
  • do not load
  • cycle period of use with periods of non use
  • bad quality control may not contain the same amount of creatine as said
51
Q

BCAA’s

A
  • branch chain amino acids
  • leucine, isoleucine, valine
  • reduces muscle breakdown
  • in dairy. meat and eggs
  • 10 to 15g per day for 30 days led to increased lean muscle mass gain
52

  • bitter white alkaloid from tea or coffee
  • promotes lipolysis, stimulates CNS,
  • banned from NCAA
53
Q

Pre workout nutrition

A
  • 6g of EAA’s + small amount of carbs helps prevent breakdown of muscle protein by 160%
  • decreases protein degradation
