Arthur Schopenhauer, philosophe allemand (1788-1860) HORMONES THYROÏDIENNES ET DOPAGE Professeur Jean-Louis Montastruc Dr. Ana Senard En consultant l’autre jour la liste des spécialités pharmaceutiques françaises contenant des produits dopants et en regardant la liste des interdictions 2016 du code mondial antidopage, nous avons eu la grande surprise de voir que les hormones thyroïdiennes et les médicaments thyroïdiens ne font pas partie de ces listes et sont donc permis chez le sportif. Ses observations posent question au pharmacologue. En effet, les hormones thyroïdiennes sont bien connues pour stimuler le métabolisme basal en général, les métabolismes des glucides, les lipides et protéines en particulier. Sur ce plan, T3 est 3 à 5 fois plus puissants que T4. Ces effets sont d’ailleurs potentialisés par d’autres hormones, comme l’insuline, le glucagon, les glucocorticoïdes ou les catécholamines. Les médicaments thyroïdiens et les hormones thyroïdiennes augmentent la consommation d’oxygène et la production de chaleur par une action sur le cœur, le rein, le foie et le muscle. L’administration des hormones thyroïdiennes augmente le rythme et le débit cardiaque mais peut aussi, en conséquence, déterminer des troubles du rythme comme une fibrillation auriculaire.

    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2013/14 Round 17: 21-23 March 2014 PREVIEW ROUND 17 Having led Leinster to the RaboDirect PRO12 title last season, Ireland coach Joe Schmidt took the RBS 6 Nations crown at the first time of asking in a tense finish to the Championship last weekend. Following on Ireland’s success it is perhaps appropriate that as the RaboDirect PRO12 returns to centre stage three of the top four teams are Irish Provinces. Schmidt’s former team, Leinster are in action at the RDS on Friday night, they and Munster both host Italian opposition in round 17 and whilst the records seem to point in favour of two home wins, neither side can afford to slip up as they chase a top two finish. Third placed Ulster are also in action on Friday night, their bonus point win over Scarlets in their rearranged game last week has pulled them closer to the leaders as the battle for home advantage in the Play-Offs intensifies. Ospreys, the only non-Irish side currently in the Play-Off Zone, know they have a fight on their hands to maintain that position as Glasgow Warriors are just three points behind them but still have two games in hand. Ospreys face fellow Welsh Region Cardiff Blues on Friday night, whereas Glasgow Warriors welcome Scarlets to Scotstoun on Saturday, the Welshmen did not make up any ground on the top four in their rearranged fixture last week. The next two weeks could be critical in any team’s aspirations of making the end of season Play-Offs as the pressure starts to build towards the season finale.
