Novel Urine Test Detects Insulin Doping
Filed in archive Diagnostics, Methodologies and Instrumentation by ruth on March 07, 2007

Insulin doping is of course illegal and therefore for control purposes, there must a rapid accurate detection method. The setback however in developing this is that insulin's degradation products were deemed impossible to detect.
Now, German scientists have reported development of a urine test that finally can identify insulin doping in athletes.
Using urine samples from volunteers, including athletes with diabetes, the scientists were able to identify degradation products from lantus insulin, one commonly used form of insulin. The test could not identify surreptitious use of two other forms of long-duration insulin, but the study uncovered clues that toward that goal.
Study results will appear in an article scheduled for the April 1 edition of ACS' Analytical Chemistry.
