bullsht cause of these reference made in the second post on that page
ghey
thats from patrick arnold
Years back I wrote about some Japanese research I read regarding site specific muscle enhancement. The research involved the injection of a water solution of a gum fiber called carrageenan into the muscles of mice. The muscles got bigger due to both hyperplasia (increased number of muscle fibers) and hypertrophy (increased size of individual muscle fibers). In addition to the increase in size the muscles also increased in strength, and remarkably these effects were maintained up to 16 weeks after the injections were ceased. A copy of the article can be found here
http://www.prohormoneforum.com/q-pat...tml#post615470It was over 5 years ago that I uncovered that research and wrote about it. Since then I had pretty much put it out of my mind – that is until last week when I got a letter from a fellow along with a sample vial of a product labeled with the weird name “A Slick Sheen”. The label on the bottle indicates that the company selling this product has a website A Slick Sheen. The label also indicates that indeed this product consists of an aqueous carrageenan solution. They promote it as a “posing solution” - just as is done with the infamous Synthol - but its quite obvious this product is meant for injection since it has a septum on the top and is labeled “guaranteed sterile”
However, these Japanese researchers (who also have two patents related to this discovery) have found that injections of lower dosages of carrageenan – specifically -carrageenan – do not result in edema and cell destruction. Instead what is observed is muscle growth (40-70% by weight in the mice over control) , and this growth consists of both hypertrophy (increase in size of muscle fibers) and hyperplasia (increase in muscle cell number). Furthermore, this new muscle is fully functional as the researchers found corresponding increased strength along with the size. Finally, the muscle growth that occurs (which is seen to begin about a week or so after injection) is sustained for up to 16 weeks (see figure 2)
The literature is all in Japanese so I had to get it translated. They used both mice and rabbits and injected the solution into the soleus muscles. They used a considerable amount – what would be equal to around 30cc of solution per muscle if you are a human!!
So obviously doing this all at one time is not practical for the average guy. An alternative would be to do 5 cc a day for 6 days per muscle. Optimally the injections would be placed in different parts of the muscle every day, so that after 6 days a very even dispersion of solotuion
