Gene Threrapy, Myostatin & Muscle Growth

Good article on gene therapy and myostatin inhibition and muscle growth.

"We injected AAV-IGF-I into the muscle in just one leg of each of our lab rats and then subjected the animals to an eight-week weight-training protocol. At the end of the training, the AAV-IGF-I-injected muscles had gained nearly twice as much strength as the uninjected legs in the same animals. After training stopped, the injected muscles lost strength much more slowly than the unenhanced muscle. "

I’d like to watch an animal do weight training :slight_smile:

Come to my gym, you’ll see plenty of animals training.
