Description
(Short description)
The present book (thesis) shows, for the first time, that various anabolic steroids (dianabol, oral turinabol) as well as testosterone propionate, combined with physical exercise, impair the exercise-induced new capillary growth (angiogenesis). Moreover they induce a mild cardiac myocyte hypertrophy. These alterations may lead to impaired oxygen supply to the heart muscle, especially in connection with physical exercise.
The book is of interest for numerous biomedical fields including internal medicine, cardiology, sports medicine, exercise physiology, pharmacology and tumour research as well as for sports and anti-doping measures.

Editorial Reviews: The findings from this project have high clinical interest as a hypertrophy of the cardiac muscle cells occurs in connection with a reduction of the capillarization during physical exercise. The consequence may be a disproportion between the oxygen demand and the oxygen supply, which can trigger an infarct. The findings have great practical importance both for medical knowledge and antidoping measures. The World Federation of Sports Medicine (FIMS) of 128 nations awarded Tagarakis and his colleagues for this contribution at the World Congress of Sports Medicine in Athens, Greece (1994) with first place.Univ.-Prof. mult.

About the author Tagarakis Christos has been conducting research at the Institute of Cardiovascular Research and Sports Medicine at the German Sport University Cologne, Germany since 1990, in cooperation with Prof. Wildor Hollmann. Additionally, from 1992 to 2000 he was researcher at the Institute I of Anatomy (Faculty of Medicine) of the University of Cologne, in cooperation with Prof. Klaus Addicks. The main fields of his interest include the cardiovascular as well as the further detrimental health consequences of anabolic steroids and hormone replacement therapy, the effect of physical exercise on the brain and the cardiovascular system, the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis, stress (both in untrained and trained individuals), overtraining in athletes, as well as aging.
