Titolo: Parliamo di doping - Parte 1

Ho notato che quando si parla di doping si tende a far confusione su un 
sacco di dati importanti, tra cui il vero significato della lotta al 
doping, e ho notato come la maggior parte dei frequentatori di questo ng 
si siano trovati a doverne discutere loro malgrado senza avere argomenti 
  solidi con cui controbattere quelli dei soliti 
romettari/interisti/milanisti frustrati. Ricordo con un certo fastidio 
che il cavallo di battaglia di un certo Chino era il Samyr, noto 
antidepressivo cheppero' fa anche altro, nonostante la stampa abbia 
sempre accuratamente evitato di specificare.
Riassumento il testo in inglese per i non anglofesson-parlanti, Il Samyr 
oltre che a migliorare l'umore (e per un calciatore questo puo' essere 
un vantaggio) ha una certa azione antiinfiammatoria, sembra che possa 
aiutare a rigenerare le cartilagini consumate e protegge il fegato dai 
danni prodotti da altri farmaci. Se pensate anche solo per un momento al 
quadro clinico medio di un calciatore vi renderete conto molto 
rapidamente come questo tipo di farmaco possa essere una panacea, 
soprattutto in considerazione del fatto che praticamente non ha effetti 
collaterali.

If the world needs a better antidepressant, it could also use a better 
arthritis remedy. Nearly a third of the 40 million Americans with 
chronic joint pain use drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen. In 
arthritis-strength doses, these so-called NSAIDs, or nonsteroidal 
anti-inflammatory drugs, can have devastating gastric side effects. Some 
103,000 Americans are hospitalized annually for NSAID- induced ulcers, 
and 16,500 die. Even when NSAIDs don't destroy the digestive tract, they 
may ultimately worsen people's joint problems, for they slow the 
production of collagen and proteoglycans, the tissues that make 
cartilage an effective shock absorber.
Could SAMe provide an alternative? In a dozen clinical trials involving 
more than 22,000 patients, researchers have found SAMe as effective as 
pharmaceutical treatments for pain and inflammation. But unlike the 
NSAIDs, SAMe shows no sign of damaging the digestive tract. And instead 
of speeding the breakdown of cartilage, SAMe may help restore it. You'll 
recall that after giving up its methyl group, SAMe becomes homocysteine, 
which can be broken down to form glutathione (the antioxidant) or 
remethylated to form methionine (the precursor to SAMe). As luck would 
have it, the reactions that produce glutathione also yield molecules 
called sulfate groups, which help generate those joint-sparing 
proteoglycans.
What does this mean for patients? The Arthritis Foundation, a mainstream 
advocacy group, recently said its medical experts were satisfied that 
SAMe "provides pain relief" but not that it "contributes to joint 
health." The evidence that SAMe can repair cartilage is admittedly 
preliminary, but it's intriguing. When German researchers gave 21 
patients either SAMe or a placebo for three months, using MRI scans to 
monitor the cartilage in their hands, the SAMe recipients showed 
measurable improvements. That wouldn't surprise Inge Kracke of Cologne. 
She was an active 48-year-old when a 1996 auto accident mangled her left 
knee and left her hobbling on a cane. Dr. Peter Billigmann of the 
University of Landau prescribed a regimen that combined SAMe (1,200 mg a 
day for three months) with injections of hyaluronic acid, a cartilage 
component. Cartilage injuries don't normally heal, but a year later 
Kracke's knee looked better on X-rays. She now plays golf three times a 
week.
SAMe may have other benefits as well. Studies suggest it can help 
normalize liver function in patients with cirrhosis, hepatitis and 
cholestasis (blockage of the bile ducts)SAMe has also been found to 
prevent or reverse liver damage caused by certain drugs. As patients 
hear more about this supplement, they may try treating themselves for 
all these conditions and others. But many of them will be 
disappointed—either because they expect miracles that SAMe can't 
deliver, or because they take the wrong dose or form.
p.s.: vorrei precisare che il Samyr non e' neanche considerato un 
farmaco negli USA ma un supplemento dietetico. Questo per la precisione.
