## Bibliography

The following list aggregates every peer-reviewed article, authoritative review, and regulatory-context document cited anywhere on this desk. Sources include primary pharmacology studies in humans and animals, randomized controlled trials, editorially-reviewed position papers, and anti-doping forensic analyses. Each entry includes a DOI or PubMed URL. Where a source is behind a paywall, the abstract is freely accessible at the PubMed link.

This desk does not cite secondary sources, aggregator summaries, or commercial product pages. If a citation cannot be traced to its original source, it is not included.
