What is a PED?
• Any substance used by an athlete to
enhance performance.
• Does not have to be a prescription drug.
• Many different ways to enhance
performance.
• Anything can and will be abused.

ANABOLIC STEROIDS
• Androgenic Anabolic Steroids are discovered in 1936.
• AAS find their way into sports in the 1950’s.
• IOC bans AAS in 1964, and begins urine testing in 1968.
• As late as 1990 the medical community denies AAS cause strength gains.

ANABOLIC STEROIDS
• How do they work?
• Anabolic/Anti catabolic
– Enzyme stimulators- RNA polymerase
produces intracellular protein
– Intracellular oncotic pressure- increased
– Time between work-outs is decreased
![Page 8: Performance Enhancement · Performance Enhancement Vincent Disabella DO FAOASM Fellowship Director Inspira Health Network ... size, gynecomastia. The Steroid Mindset. • Many think](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081406/5f16aea9f6f52d2e8856c5fb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ANABOLIC STEROIDS
• Why have AAS become so popular?
– 10- 25% weight gain in 3- 6 months
– Psychological effects
– Better ones appearance
• Be aware of your patients!!– Various studies of American high school athletes
estimate that 5.9 percent of boys and 4.6 percent of
girls have used anabolic steroids to help them build
muscle.

– Refractory anemias
– Hereditary angioedema
– Wasting syndrome in
HIV
– Hormonal replacement
• ADVERSE EFFECTS
– Hepatocellular dysfunction
– Acne and hirsutism
– Mood swings and aggressiveness
– Increased LDL, decreased HDL(c, 2c 3c) and ApoA1

The Steroid Mindset.
• Many think they need
them to compete.
• Many think everyone
else is doing it so I
have to also.
• Win at All Cost.
• Muscle Dysmorphia.

Most Dangerous Effects of AAS
• Roid Rage.
• Hyper sexuality.
• Over confidence.
• Depression/Suicidal.
• Psychological
Addiction.
• Mood Swings
![Page 13: Performance Enhancement · Performance Enhancement Vincent Disabella DO FAOASM Fellowship Director Inspira Health Network ... size, gynecomastia.

Calling them out!
• Patient admits to using AAS.
• You see all the signs and ask.
– Often leads to denial.
• Formalized drug testing.
• T4 x HDL- if less than 100 suspect AAS use
• Testosterone/ Epitestosterone > 6:1- AAS use
• HDL > 10 suspect AAS use.

THGtetrahydrogestrinone
• A chemical manipulation of gestrinone-a
rarely used progestin for treating
endometriosis.
– Was intentionally altered for the sole purpose
of eluding drug testing.
• Slightly altered the progestin and then added a side-
chain similar to Trenbolone(the strongest known
synthetic androgen)
![Page 15: Performance Enhancement · Performance Enhancement Vincent Disabella DO FAOASM Fellowship Director Inspira Health Network ... size, gynecomastia. The Steroid Mindset. • Many think](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081406/5f16aea9f6f52d2e8856c5fb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
THG
• Is a potent androgen and progestin
properties but no estrogen properties or sex
steroid antagonism. (Death et al JCEM 5/04)
– More potent than nandrolone and trenbolone.
– Would have to expect all the bad effects of
both.
• Nobolethone is another “supplement” which
was recently discovered.

Growth Hormone
• Growth hormone release increases at the
onset of aerobic activity and decrease at or
close to the cessation of aerobic activity.
• The more intense the aerobic activity the
greater the increase.
– There are many confounding factors.
– Adiposity decreases the GH response.
– Decreases with conditioning.

The Steroid Mindset. • Many think](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081406/5f16aea9f6f52d2e8856c5fb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In regards to Resistance Training the variables are
much greater in the GH response.
• Length of rest period.
– Shorter rest periods caused greater increases.
• Intensity of workout.
– 1 RM vs 10 RM.
• Volume of work.
Note women during follicular phase have a
higher GH level than men.

Why use HGH
• Increased muscle size
and strength.
• Decrease adipose
stores.
• Increased metabolism?
• Increased bone
density?
• Not easily detected in
testing.

Problems with HGH
• Acromegaly- irreversible bony
enlargement
• Hyperpigmentation
• Glucose intolerance
• Organomegaly- cardiomyopathy
• Carpal Tunnel and other nerve
entrapments.

Muscle Dysmorphia
• AKA: Reverse
Anorexia, Bigorexia.
• Effects Males >
Females.
• DSM IV subclass of
OCD.
• Sports↔MDM

The Steroid Mindset. • Many think](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081406/5f16aea9f6f52d2e8856c5fb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What to do with MDM?
• What do you look
like?
• What is the ideal
body?
• What do you think
others think you look
like?
• Unlike AN they look
healthy. Identify
• Antidepressants.
• Extensive
Psychotherapy.

Insulin and IGF-1
• GH anabolic effects are regulated by
Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1)
• Complex interaction of Insulin, GH and
IGF-1 to control the nutrients supplied to
the tissues during fasting and feeding.
• Insulin and GH have been widely available
and now so is IGF-1.
– Let the games begin.

Why IGF-1
• Recently Mecasermin Tercica (Increlex)
and Mecasermin Rinfabate (iPLEX) have
become available to treat growth failure in
children.
– Increlex is rhICF-1.
– iPLEX is rhIGF-I bound to rhIGFBP-3, its
major binding protein.

IGF-1 now available on the Black
Market.
• Improves endurance.
• Increased muscle
strength.
• Increased tendon
strength.
• Rapid tissue repair.
• Sexual enhancement
and endurance.
• Better BG control.
• Anti-Aging.
• Fat reduction.
• Mood elevation.
• Anti-inflammatory.
• Nerve regeneration.

IGF-1
• Exogenous IGF-1 has anabolic effects.
– Enhances the uptake of Amino Acids.
– Works at any age, even in sarcopenia.
• Increases glucose uptake by increasing
insulin sensitivity and glycogen production.
– Being used by athletes to rapidly replenish post
extensive exercise.
– Causes symptomatic hypoglycemia.

IGF-1
• Exogenous administration is shown to increase
lypolysis and lipid oxidation.
– May be indirect by suppression of circulating
insulin.
– Mature adipose cells have receptors for IGF-1
so it may have a direct effect on adipose cells.
• May reduce fat mass.
• Provide abundant fuel source in endurance events
while protecting glycogen and protein.

Insulin
• Many preparations are readily available.
• Insulin mediated glucose uptake enable
glycogen production.
• Causes carbohydrate to be utilized instead
of amino acids and fatty acids.
• Used post exercise to replenish glycogen
and ATP stores.

GH, Insulin and IGF-1
• There is no proof that insulin or IGF are
performance enhancing.
– Imagine doing that random controlled study.
• Many athletes do their own studies with a
N=1.
• Many use multiple drugs at once.
• Slightest advantage is a Gold vs. not
making the finals.

Potential Problems.
• Hypoglycemia.
• Tonsilar/Adenoid growth—resolves.
• Possible acromegaly like effects due to
similarity of IGF-1 and GH.
• Cardiomyopathy?
• Increased IGF-1 levels in prostate and
colorectal cancers.

Oral Hypoglycemics
• Used for carb loading.
• Metformin is the “safe one”.
– Does not cause hypoglycemia.
– Does cause Rhabdomyolysis.
• Very scary when the athlete only knows
part of the story.

Epogen
• rEPO became available in the late 80’s.
– Blood doping in endurance sports started
almost immediately.
• ↑ Hbg = ↑VO2 max
• Must have adequate iron stores, takes a few weeks
to raise the Hct and Hbg.

Problems with blood doping.
• HTN: ↑volume,
↑viscosity & ↑ CO.
• Stroke due to
viscosity.
• MI due to viscosity.
• Seizures
• Antibody Mediated
Aplasia.

Gene Doping
• Introducing a desired gene (transgene) into
an organism via a vector (often a virus).
– Done in agriculture with plants and livestock.
• Genes can also be injected.
• Put in the system with liposomes or
plasmids.
• Beware virus could infect others.

The Basic Science
• Injection of the gene vector
– Can inject directly into the tissue or
bloodstream
– Can remove cells, alter them then re-introduce
them.
• The gene plasmid is introduced into a virus
and then the patient is infected with the
virus.

• Can inject the plasmid directly into the
muscle then use E-stim or Ultrasound to
activate the gene.
• Risks are tremendous
– Can’t shut the gene off.
– Over proliferation or mutation causing cancer.
– Immune response to the viruses or vector.
– WADA banned 2003 but not illegal in US.

How do stimulants work?
• (1) an elevated release of neurotransmitters
(eg, dopamine, noradrenaline, and
serotonin) into the synaptic cleft.
• (2) the direct stimulation of postsynaptic
receptors.
• (3) the inhibition of neurotransmitter
reuptake.

Cocaine
• Used as far back as the Inca’s to enhance
workloads and speed long demanding tasks
in hypoxic environments.
• Used in the 16th century in race walking .
Note
• Use of psuedophedrine has increased
greatly since the lifting of the ban in 2004.
