why can't GH15 gets his hands on this stuff?  GH15 come on we want to see you bulk up like Wendy the Whippet.

GH15, help us out here. Is there such a thing as Myostatin Inhibitors?

NO

Only by 1 in a Billion by natural selection in one man in England and another by a German boy five or six years ago

Flex Wheeler has it, and Victor Richards had an extra X chromesome.

I dont know why there isnt more interest in this in the bodybuilding world. Its such a temporary culture.

Live for the moment. If you work this hard to make muscle why is there no interest in keeping it?

Do you guys really want to loose all your gains, because you will. Name one retired pro that still looks like he was ever a bodybuilder.

Well imo, he never lost those real good gains, that he gained in the 1980's.

if he does that he won't live to be 186 like you will looking almost the same as you do now with only a few wrinkles.

Hes got the deep Gaspariesque striations coming through on his glutes, id say hes around 6%, dudes ripped.

Hes still rocking it amadeus style aswell.

I agree, I think it is already being used to be honest with you. I dont see how Jay and Ronnie can stay that big that long all year round with hardly a change or health problem, it just isnt possible.  Even with the normal gear there are dips and platueaus, these guys are just too consistently the same.

Ok, I'll find it myself.

Here's a link to one article:

http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2004/07/02/muscle-in-wyeths-pipeline.aspx (http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2004/07/02/muscle-in-wyeths-pipeline.aspx)

"Last month, the drug manufacturer began a phase 1 trial of myo-29, a monoclonal antibody that blocks the production of myostatin, a natural occurring protein in the body. A Wyeth-sponsored study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests why blocking myostatin may be desirable. At the center of that investigation was a 4-year-old boy with twice the muscle mass and half the body fat of other children his age. The boy has an apparently unique genetic mutation that inhibits myostatin production. From this and earlier research, Wyeth has determined that the protein inhibits muscle growth."

Sorry dudes... wrong again.

There is another drug that's being tested here in Ireland that blocks the actions of myostatin and shows pretty drastic effects even in adult animals (it's been tested on chickens and rats producing 30% increases in skeletal muscle mass in as little as six weeks), cessation of the drug undoes the muscle increase.

I heard bodybuilders are starting to implement gamma rays into their supplement regiments.  You build so much muscle your friends will be green with envy.

Google it dude...

If I remember correctly there are several drugs that interfere with myostatin production... I think (not sure) that one of them is called SRS-71 or something like that.

Each and every major pharmaceutical company is researching this at the moment: just google the words "myostatin"; "inhibitor" and "studies" and avoid the bodybuilding sites.

kiwiol says that Mysotatin Inhibition is a myth. It can only work in the embryonic stage.


It`s not a myth, myostatin is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. Gene knockouts in embryonic mice result in hypermuscular adult mice. Recent work in which gene expression 'knockouts' were effected in adult mice showed that "Tamoxifen administration to 4-mo-old Mstn[f/f]/Cre+ mice reduced myostatin mRNA expression to less than 1% of normal, which increased muscle mass ~25% over the following 3 mo in both male and female mice". It was concluded that "even after developmental muscle growth has ceased, knockout of the myostatin gene induces a significant increase in muscle mass".

As far as bodybuilding goes, it'll be sometime before it`s possible to start messing with a person`s genes directly in a clandestine lab, at least without significant and irreversible effects.  The easiest way will be to use antibodies or better anti-sense RNA; this will become a reality over the next decade or so.  Basically the DNA (usually double-stranded, of course) that defines this particular gene produces an mRNA (messenger RNA which is single-stranded). This mRNA is then used as a template for protein synthesis. Antisense RNA is, essentially, the introduction of anti-sense (or complimentary sequence) RNA that binds to the mRNA. When it is double-stranded, the mRNA cant be used in protein synthesis and so protein expression (in this case myostatin expression) is inhibited.

The problem is, there are numerous genes involved in muscular hypertrophy, and also muscular dystrophy. The function of myostatin itself is not fully understood either, so those at the forefront will have to weigh up the significant risks with the rewards.

Is this right?

Tamoxifen citrate is the generic name for the anti-estrogen nolvadex.

Yes, this but was only to stimulate expression of the transgene which is under the control of a tamoxifen-inducible promoter (which drives gene expression).
