Cyclists & Asthma? ~20% Increased Protein Synthesis W/ Salbutamol, Another Reason its Abuse Cannot be Ignored

Written by | published on

Even if it is medically indicated, there's more and more evidence that using beta-2-agonists (esp. but not exclusively orally) could provide an unfair advantage to athletes: increased protein synthesis, increased mitochondrial neogenesis, established ergogenic effects,... If you've been following the news, you will be aware that the Tour de France Champion, Chris Froome, has been busted with elevated levels of the beta-2-agonists  Salbutamol  in his blood ( learn more ). Now, we could debate forever about whether the green light Froome just got is a case of double-standards or not, but that's not the purpose of this article, anyway. Rather, I want to explain why the claim that salbutamol, officially an asthma medication, wouldn't be a worthwhile doping agent is bullshit.

Albuterol / Salbutamol Doping Works! Cyclists Just Have to Take One Pill For a 4.1% Increase in Peak Power. Plus: Its Chronic (Ab)Use Makes Their Training More Efficient

Inhaling salbutamol, which is the most appropriate way to combat asthma, will not provide the same beneficial effects to athletes as taking a much higher doses pill and thus "going systemic" will (Norris. 1996; Koch. 2013) Salbutamol (INN) or "albuterol", as it is called in the US, is a short-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonist. Just like its longer-acting brother clenbuterol, it has been developed to be used for the relief of bronchospasm in conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; and just like its brother clenbuterol, it has been and still is abused by athletes all around the world as a doping agent. For good reasons? Well, a recent study from the University of Copenhagen would suggest just that. After all, the scientists from the Department of Nutrition, Exercise & Sports , Section of Integrated Physiology found acute and long(er) term beneficial effects of salbutamol (ab)use on peak power in their subjects, 20 male endur...

In this quickie things that don't belong still find together ;-) If it had not been much too long, I would probably have called today's SuppVersity article "Things You Want and Things You Don't Want to Know". I mean, chances that one of you is among the 45% of men who wanted their "best part" to be larger are high and I bet that many of these men won't really care that Janet Lever, David A. Frederick and Letitia Anne Peplau also found that 85% of the women were happy with the penis size of their male partners (Lever. 2006). That's not really what you want to hear? I see, you didn't really want to hear that!? Ok, let's not forget (all puns intended that there are other news in this quickie, as well. So, let's see what else we've got: SuppVersity suggested read: "Child- hood Asthma: Children Born to Mothers Who Consume Semi-Skimmed Milk 8% More Likely, Kids of Whole Milk Drinking Mothers 15% Less Likely to Develop ...

Image 1: Few of the things the average trainee does in places that call themselves "fitness studios" has little to do have will actually promote fitness, as in being athletic. "Mr. check out my biceps", for example would be similarly lost ding this as the sedentary computer nerd "Mr. biceps" loves to laugh about. I know from time to time I am not 100% in time when it comes to delivering promised articles, but after an exhaustingly hot day, I am pretty much in-time with the 2nd installment of " On Short Notice " for today and the third for this weekend. Since I felt that it looked awkward to have three posts with the "On Short Notice" in front posted one after the other, I did however decide to ditch that (at least for today) and get straight down to ... well, "business" with posts on the revealing type II fiber specific muscle-damage from jump squats , the reason why you better sit in your ice-tub fasted if you want to pr...

Childhood Asthma: Kids Born to Mothers Who Consume Semi-Skimmed Milk 8% More, Offspring of Whole Milk Drinking Mothers 15% Less Likely to Develop Asthma

Image 1: Better make sure your "mother's milk" (the milk you drink while you or your significant other are pregnant) is full fat! I don't know if you have listened to my "brother" Carl Lanore's Super Human Radio interview with Boyd Eaton , yesterday, but if you did, you will probably remember that the two also broached the issue of dairy consumption on a paleo diet. And while many of you may have been surprised to hear that Eaton does consume milk products on a regular basis, it is probably even more intriguing that the show came full-circle only a couple of minutes later, when Carl who had just addressed the issue of iron-overload and how that relates to the relative abundance of meat in an ancestral diet, read my facebook message about the beneficial effects of milk proteins, Zunquin et al. observed in a 2006 trial rodent trial intended to simulate the potential side effects of high dose iron supplementation to replete iron stores in iron-depleted ...

Image 1: In 2009 10% of all US children had at least a mild form of asthma. 57% of these children had had at least one asthma attack in the year before. And in the year 2007, 9 people died of an asthma attack on each of the 365 days of the year ( CDC. 2007-2009 )... yet our understanding of the nutrition-cleanliness-autoimmune axis is still in its infancy while millions of dollars are spent on a non-sensical "war on cholesterol", every day.    [Note: This is a direct sequel to the last installment ] There she is, Mrs Youesdeay... you hated her. Her and her healthy greens: "Good morning my dear! I see your mommy is in a hurry today?... Good morning Mrs. Singleparent!" Mrs. Youesdeay was standing there, her usual half-anorexic vegan self, staring right into your eyes." It was as if she was saying: "Gimme those peanut-butter sandwiches my dear !" To escape this fate, you had made it a habit to hurry right past her and into the grey building with its...
