My other question is, can this muscle-tricking hormone discriminate between different types of muscle tissue? If not, we might get overworked fingers (resulting in carpel tunnel), overworked genitals (unprovoked erections), and facial spasms. Sounds awesome to me!

When the drug is taken, the major change that occurs is that the mitochondria in the muscles get bigger and there are more of them. Mitochondria, if you might recall from biology class, is the powerhouse of the cell. It takes sugar and oxygen and makes ATP which is what the muscle burns directly. More mitochondria means more powerplants making the energy that the muscle can use.

I don’t think the muscles got stronger, they just had more endurance.

The more interesting part of this study was another study that this group referenced. They mentioned that this pill has the same effect as reservetrol, the good stuff in red wine and grape skins.

So I read that article too. That article showed that a high dose of reservatrol allowed mice to eat a high fat diet and not get fat like their siblings did. The reservetrol mice also had the increase in endurance caused by an increase in mitochondria.

After 15 weeks the reservetrol mice could run 4x farther than their brothers and none of the mice had been practicing. So, it’s not like one group was in training and the other wasn’t.

I, personally, have started pricing bottles of reservatrol. I had no idea that stuff was so powerful.
