Abstract
Background: The study aims to investigate the effects of selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) among athletes and examine the possible beneficial results and risks of these substances for the athletes' health and performance and human health in general. Nowadays, SARMs have become a focus of interest in the world of sports and medicine. Because of their anabolic action, SARMs are considered quite promising for treating several disorders including breast cancer, osteoporosis, DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy), some type of tumors, etc. As for the athletic community, SARMs are used as doping for muscle mass increasing and strengthening and pose as an alternative to other steroid-based doping with their minimum side effects. SARMs are innovative substances for athletic performance and human health. Further study on SARMs is required in order to understand the long-term effects on human health and athletic performance.
Highlights
Regarding their anabolic action and therapeutic potential, selective androgen receptor modulators, SARMs, have been a focus of attention in the world of medicine [1,2,3]
SARMs are assumed to have a curative influence on certain disorders and diseases such as tumors, Alzheimers Disease, breast cancer, osteoporosis, etc
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators have become a focus of interest in the world of sports and medicine
Summary
Regarding their anabolic action and therapeutic potential, selective androgen receptor modulators, SARMs, have been a focus of attention in the world of medicine [1,2,3]. The discovery of SARMs dates back to the late 1990s These compounds affect the androgen receptors in muscles and bones. Testosterone is used commonly in the medical area for its therapeutic effects, yet this treatment offers many possible side effects. Most of these side effects are caused by steroids. Even though the use of SARMs is quite promising in terms of their therapeutic effects, these molecules are used as doping by athletes. Even though there is no conclusion on the issue, these substances can be obtained [12,13]
