The effects of a myostatin inhibitor on lean body mass, strength, and power in resistance trained males
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Myostatin is considered an inhibitor of satellite cell activation and as a result skeletal muscle hypertrophy. One promising supplement which has suppressed blood levels of myostatin by 44% is a proprietary bioactive ingredient, Myo-T12, which is follistatin derived from fertile chicken egg yolk isolate. MyoT12 would therefore theoretically enhance skeletal muscle growth. However this remains to be examined. Therefore the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of MyoT12 on skeletal muscle growth and strength in recreationally trained individuals.

متن کاملTwelve-week resistance training decreases myostatin level and improves insulin sensitivity in overweight-obese women
Myostatin is a secreted protein that acts as a potent inhibitor of skeletal muscle growth. Inactivation of myostatin increases muscle mass and decreases insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to determine if the improvement in insulin resistance after resistance training is associated with a decline in serum levels of myostatin. A sample of 19 obese-overweight women (age= 23.2±3.4 yr, bo...
