Article Abstract
The abuse of anabolic steroid hormones in human sports and animal husbandry is an ubiquitous problem and therefore a tight control program in both areas is very important. Within these control programs, hormone residues are detected by immunoassays or chromatographical methods in combination with mass spectrometry. With these methods, all known substances can be detected; yet new xenobiotic growth promoters and new ways of application are difficult to detect. Therefore it is important to develop new sensitive screening methods to enable an efficient control for misused anabolic substances. The detection of their physiological action is a promising approach. Anabolic steroid hormones directly influence the expression of specific genes and thus the analysis of the transcriptome of different target tissues and matrices is of great interest. This review describes our recent efforts made concerning the analysis of gene expression changes in different tissues, different species and under different anabolic treatments.

Background: Misuse of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), especially through "stacking" multiple substances, poses significant health risks. This study leverages data from the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to assess these risks and identify factors predicting severe outcomes.
Methods: We analyzed 286 FAERS reports of intentional AAS misuse.

Chronic psychosocial stress is a major risk factor for major depressive disorder (MDD). The impact of 17β-trenbolone (17-TB), an anabolic steroid and potential environmental endocrine disruptor, on stress responses and mood states in mammals is unclear. In this study, we explored how 17-TB interacts with chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) to drive neuroinflammatory cascades and behavioral abnormalities in mice.

Background: Sarcopenia, characterized by progressive muscle loss and functional decline in aging, poses significant health challenges. Sex steroids, such as estradiol and testosterone, have potential therapeutic roles in mitigating muscle degeneration. This study explores the molecular mechanisms and targets of sex steroids in the treatment of sarcopenia using network pharmacology, enrichment analysis, machine learning, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations.

Ion mobility-mass spectrometry has shown tremendous potential for improving the analysis of various subclasses of steroids. Its speed and ability to separate isobaric and isomeric species makes it ideal for biomedical, clinical, food, environmental, and antidoping analyses. But while other high-resolution ion mobility (HRIM) techniques have begun to see increased use in steroidomics, Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (SLIM) is a relative newcomer to the field.
