Comparison of hGH serum concentrations of Caucasian and African top athletes : an ethnicity study

Publikation: Beitrag in Buch/Bericht/KonferenzbandKonferenzbeitrag - Aufsatz in KonferenzbandForschung

Abstract

Growth hormone is prohibited in sports and currently measured by a luminescence immunoassay developed by Bidlingmaier and Strasburger. The application of an immunoassay in doping control necessitates a deep evaluation of ethnical influences as well as many other parameters. This study was carried out to determine the differences between Caucasian and African athletes. The mean values of the ratios were significantly higher for Caucasian athletes. Additional interesting results included the fact that no significant differences were found between men and women. The current cut-off values of the assay may be adapted after deeper statistical evaluation of the data by the World Anti-Doping Agency. Verf.-Referat
