The consequences for positive tests include: Disqualification from competition Loss of medals and records Suspension from sport (potentially years) Stripped sponsorships and endorsements Permanent career damage Trace amounts -- even levels far below what would provide any performance benefit -- can still trigger positive tests and sanctions
Two separate phases were observed at an excitation of 484 nm, a rapid but small increase and a slower but more pronounced decrease of fluorescence (Fig
It upregulates genes involved in collagen synthesis (COL1A1, COL3A1, COL5A1), extracellular matrix remodeling (decorin, fibromodulin), and antioxidant defense (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase) while simultaneously suppressing genes associated with inflammation (IL-6, TNF-alpha), fibrinogen production, and tissue destruction (several MMPs)
Conversely, it decreased the activities of browning-related enzymes, such as polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD)
