Panels that pair flux readouts (e.g., DHE2-OH-E for O 2 , compartment-targeted HyPer/roGFP-Orp for H 2 O 2 , peroxiredoxin redox state) with damage footprints (F-isoprostanes, carbonyls/nitrotyrosine, 8-oxoG) and iron/ferroptosis metrics (labile iron pool, oxidized phospholipids, GPX4 context) provide the attribution needed to separate signalling from injury, compare studies and titrate therapy
For 2024, tapentadol and dihydrocodeine were added to monitor patterns of use in-competition, and semaglutide (GLP-1 analog) was added to examine prevalence of use in sport
