Risks of genetic doping

article taken from the graduation thesis of Dr. Boscariol Lorenzo «Genetic doping Currently, gene therapy is administered to patients in well-controlled environments and the vectors used for gene transfer are produced in certified laboratories where they are extensively tested. If gene therapy were used to improve athletic performance, it is very likely that these (controlled) environments would not exist, so the risks would increase considerably.

Addiction

What is the Aspiration? Habituation is a phenomenon in which the user's body develops a certain degree of resistance to the action of the drug or drug taken on; this entails the need for gradually increasing doses to obtain the desired effects previously obtained with lower doses. In practice, the organism becomes more adept at metabolizing the active ingredient or loses sensitivity towards it at the cellular level

Abuse of anti-inflammatories in the sports field

By Dr. Nicola Sacchi - Author of the book: Drugs and doping in sport - Inflammation and inflammatory response The inflammatory process is a complex cellular response system that determines a series of biochemical events activated to repair damaged tissue. The inflammatory or inflammatory response is achieved through the production of numerous classes of autacoid molecules (a substance that generates a response directly on the cell that releases it and / or neighboring cells) responsible for biochemical changes of various kinds necessary to isolate and activate the processes of response to harmf

Aranesp ® darbepoetin alfa

Aranesp ® is a drug that stimulates erythropoiesis, a physiological process that leads to the production of new red blood cells (GR). Its chemical structure and its functions closely follow the typical characteristics of human erythropoietin, a hormone naturally produced by the kidney that stimulates the production of erythrocytes (GR) in the spinal cord.

Genetic doping

article taken from the graduation thesis of Dr. Boscariol Lorenzo Recent advances in the field of gene therapy open up new and interesting perspectives for the treatment of different pathologies; since the first tests of genetic therapy were conducted with proteins strictly related to doping (eg erythropoietin and growth hormone), the connection between this and the sport is evident
