Wine also works like doping

(Redirects) - According to researchers from the University of Kingston University in London, red wine can help athletes increase physical fitness in sports matches by enhancing hormone testosterone activity.

However, this drink not only helped them to succeed, but also helped them to pass the Doping test. The study was led by Professor Declan Naughton of the School of Life Sciences University of Red Wine that could reduce the amount of hormones excreted by the body, thereby falsifying urine test results.

Testosterone is a hormone found in both men and women. It helps increase muscle, increase stamina and increase resilience. However, athletes are prohibited from using testosterone and synthetic drugs from this hormone in competition.

Although red wine is not banned in sports competitions, Professor Naughton's team made a recommendation to the Doping Prevention Agency for discovering the ability to change testosterone levels when drinking wine.

'Previous studies have shown the effect of anti-inflammatory drugs on enzymes,' explained Professor Naughton. 'Since the emergence of phyto-pharmaceuticals, we have begun studying the effects of certain foods and beverages on enzymes associated with testosterone secretion. We do research on green tea and wine because these two have a very high level of natural molecular content and we want to know if they affect the amount of testosterone excreted in the urine. '

Professor Naughton stressed that the study has so far been conducted in vitro and is still being tested for humans.'There needs to be a full clinical study to assess its impact on people, if the clinical trial results also match the test results in vitro, it can be confirmed that the compounds in Red wine can reduce the amount of testosterone excreted in the urine and increase the amount of testosterone in the body , 'Professor Naughton explained.

Those who abstain from alcohol also cannot avoid these effects. In fact, the concentration of alcohol in red wine has a small effect because the non-alcoholic molecules in the new wine have the effect of limiting excretion of testosterone. The team also found similar results for raw wine. Active substances such as quercetin are found in many foods. The results of the study were published in the International Journal of Nutrition.
