Overcoming the Challenge of Confident Identification Among Two Related Groups of 17‐Methyl Steroids by GC–MS Tetrahydromethyltestosterone (THMT) and 20-hydroxymethyl-18-nortetrahydromethyltestosterone (20OHnorTHMT) are metabolites of the anabolic androgenic steroids methyltestosterone and metandienone. Both....

Identifying a banned substance or metabolite in an anti-doping sample is key before the amount of the substance can be quantified. Authors optimized chromatographic separation to distinguish 2 structurally similar steroid metabolites.

Clenbuterol, but not Inhaled Formoterol, Upregulates the Sarcomere Stabilizer KLHL41 to a Similar Extent as Resistance Training in Human Skeletal Muscle This study shows that clenbuterol, a potent and heavily abused β2-agonist, induces KLHL41 expression—a sarcomeric myofibrillogenesis protein—in human skeletal muscle comparably to resistance training...

Authors studied the amount of a muscle growth protein after oral clenbuterol (banned in sport), inhaled formoterol (allowed w/ limits) & resistance training. 2 wks of oral clenbuterol ⬆️ the protein. 6 wks of formoterol had no effect.
