The influence of anabolic steroids plus phenformin on the course of disease was studied in patients suffering from occlusive vascular diseases. In arteriosclerosis obliterans of the lower limbs the combined therapy led to a higher percentage of improvement than the control group showed. In coronary heart disease there was also a beneficial effect of this treatment. The drugs were found to exert beneficial clinical effects especially in patients with thrombophlebitis migrans and superficial thrombophlebitis. From the results of this study it is concluded that this therapy may be of clinical value in the treatment of patients with occlusive vascular diseases.

Background: Distal triceps tendon injuries are relatively rare injuries, often occurring in highly active patients with physically demanding jobs or lifestyles. Information on return to work, sport, and activity is essential for patient education and counseling after a distal triceps tendon rupture.

Purpose: To determine the rates of return to work, sport, and sport-related activity after distal triceps tendon repair.

Purpose: This study examined the effect of resistance training (RT) by itself and in combination with supraphysiological administration of nandrolone decanoate (ND) on the inflammatory, apoptotic, and oxidative stress response in cardiac tissue. The effect of the training and androgen intervention on adiponectin expression, a potential cardio protectant was also examined.

Methods: Forty male C57Bl/6J mice, 3 months of age were randomized into four groups (n = 10 per group).

The detection of endogenous anabolic androgenic steroids misuse in Asian population using the Steroidal Module of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) is a challenge due to the high prevalence of UGT2B17 gene deletion polymorphism with low levels of testosterone (T) glucuronide. In this study, the capabilities of different approaches based on urine analysis for the detection of oral T undecanoate administration were evaluated in 13 Asian volunteers, including 11 subjects with del/del genotype and 2 subjects with del/ins genotype. In the first part of the work, the effect on the urinary steroid profile (SP) and on the isotope ratio mass spectrometry markers was evaluated.
