Sports Medical Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores anti-doping and genetic diagnosis through sports medicine and endocrinology.
AboutAbout the lab
Research on anti-doping and genetic diagnosis.
The Sports Medical Science Lab specializes in sports medicine (anti-doping) and endocrinology, and studies topics such as developing new anti-doping technologies and the genetic diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.
Many substances used for doping are hormones, so the lab treats anti-doping as a branch of endocrinology.
From the standpoint of a clinical genetics specialist, the lab also pursues research on using individual genetic differences to tailor exercise prescriptions to each person.
The information on the lab's website dates from around 2016.
Key terms
- Anti-doping
- Testing and other efforts to detect and prevent the use of prohibited substances and methods in sports
- Pheochromocytoma
- A type of tumor that arises in hormone-producing cells. Its relationship to genetic changes is being studied.
- SNP
- A single-letter difference in the genetic sequence, which serves as a clue to individual differences such as constitution
- Chromogranin
- A substance whose level in saliva is studied as an indicator of stress (a stress marker)
ResearchResearch themes
The lab specializes in sports medicine (anti-doping) and endocrinology. It studies new anti-doping technologies, the genetic diagnosis of pheochromocytoma, and exercise and stress markers.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping new anti-doping technologies
Many substances used for doping are hormones, so the lab treats this as a branch of endocrinology. Because new substances and methods keep appearing, the lab works with the doping testing organization Mitsubishi Chemical Medience, with the goal of developing new technologies.
*Illustrative imageGenetic diagnosis of pheochromocytoma
As clinical genetics specialists, the lab has been setting up a system for analyzing the SDHB gene and has shown the association with malignancy in Japan as well. Its primary goal is to establish a method of early intervention using SDHB, leading to early diagnosis and better prognosis.
*Illustrative imagePersonalized exercise prescriptions
This research applies clinical genetics and uses SNPs to tailor exercise prescriptions to each person. Together with the Maeda Lab in sports medicine, the lab is studying a molecular diagnostic method for metabolic syndrome that uses catestatin polymorphisms as an indicator.
*Illustrative imageExercise and stress markers
The lab has carried out joint research with professors in the Institute of Health and Sport Sciences on exercise physiology, which is essential for the prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related diseases. It studies salivary chromogranin, a stress marker.
