In the world of athletes' nutrition, there are many ethical concerns, because there is the suspicion that in practice, large doses of supplements in athletes are not taken for nutritional purposes. It is beyond the scope of this article to highlight the possible roles of supplements or methods of supplementation in the improvement of athletic performance in elite athletes. Instead, the author briefly reviews some of the substances taken by athletes, with particular attention to their mechanisms of action and the pathways involved. Very often, the effects of many supplements are hormone-related, or supplements influence hormone secretion. Examples of possible links between "supplements or ergogenic compounds" and the endocrine/metabolic system are addressed.
在运动员营养领域，存在许多伦理问题，因为有人怀疑在实际中，运动员服用大剂量补充剂并非出于营养目的。本文不打算强调补充剂在提高精英运动员运动成绩方面可能发挥的作用或补充方法。相反，作者简要回顾了运动员服用的一些物质，特别关注其作用机制和涉及的途径。很多时候，许多补充剂的作用与激素相关，或者补充剂会影响激素分泌。文中探讨了“补充剂或促效化合物”与内分泌/代谢系统之间可能存在的联系。
