Follistatin Therapy Shows Large Muscle Gains
Long and laborious in the gym, building large, strong muscles takes time and effort. But, scientists could have discovered a shortcut where the muscles develop on their own. By using gene therapy, scientists have actually been able to boost the strength and lean body mass of macaque monkeys. The experiment required only the direct injection of the gene follistatin (FS344) into the right thigh muscles of the monkeys. Read More about Buy Sarms It has been demonstrated that myostatin, a molecule that inhibits muscle growth but strengthens tendons, can be blocked by follistatin. The right thigh muscles of the monkeys had, on average, grown 15% larger than the left thigh eight weeks following the injection. According to a research done on two of the monkeys, the right leg's muscle strength rose by 12 and 36%, respectively, compared to the untreated leg! Follistatin is administered via a viral vector, or an Adeno Associated Virus, which serves as a vehicle for the medicine. Gene therap
