Anabolic
steroids are synthetic derivatives of testosterone, the male
hormone secreted by the testes, and include many closely
related ring structures as well as their esters. Anabolic
steroids promote general tissue growth. Athletes competing
in various sports used anabolic steroids to increase muscle
development and strength, reduce healing time after an
injury, diminish fatigue, and increase aggressiveness. Now
there is increasing trend of using anabolic steroids for
appearance and personal fitness. The use of anabolic
steroids has serious adverse health effect.
The
legislative control of anabolic steroids, together with the
increase in demand for these drugs, has led to a growth in
the clandestine market. Some of these anabolic steroids have
been approved for veterinary use and can easily be diverted
for abuse by humans. Products seen in the illegal market
include dietary supplements and herbal drugs marketed as
capsules or tablets, which often do not contain the
ingredients declared on the label.
ELISA
(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) technique is based on
the binding of
steroid with specific antibodies and
colorimetric detection of
steroid presence.
Our
ELISAs provide sensitive, accurate and reliable quantitative
determination of anabolic steroids in foodstuff and food
