Abstract
In the world of athletes' nutrition, there are many ethical concerns, because there is the suspicion that in practice, large doses of supplements in athletes are not taken for nutritional purposes. It is beyond the scope of this article to highlight the possible roles of supplements or methods of supplementation in the improvement of athletic performance in elite athletes. Instead, the author briefly reviews some of the substances taken by athletes, with particular attention to their mechanisms of action and the pathways involved. Very often, the effects of many supplements are hormone-related, or supplements influence hormone secretion. Examples of possible links between "supplements or ergogenic compounds" and the endocrine/metabolic system are addressed.
