BCAA after weight training to increase muscle growth BCAA is another of the supplements I use myself, and it is among the best you can get in you after exercise to increase muscle growth. In this post you will learn some basic information about what BCAA is and what it does. The brand I use is called Xtend . What is BCAA?…
Is it important to understand the structure of our muscles? And if so how could this improve the results of our muscle exercise routine? One wise thing to do when deciding the muscles exercise technique we are going to adopt is to find out the type of structure a muscle is made of, muscles as we know are formed by either a slow-contract structure or a fast-contract structure, for example a muscle made of high level of slow-contracts structure reacts more favorably to high repetitions, so high level of slow-contracts structured muscles are more adequately trained in the 15 or over repetitions to allow the muscle to be enough time under pressure. Fast-contracts structured muscles are more adequately trained in the 6 to 12 repetitions.…
The goal of this experiment is to understand muscle cell development by studying the proliferation and differentiation progress of C2C12 cells, which are myoblast line isolated from the thigh muscle of adult mice that can be induced to differentiate into skeletal muscle-like cells. C2C12 cells have been subcultured under conditions such as high serum media to maintain their undifferentiated state before they reach 100% confluency. Once the cells reached 100% confluency, they will turn on muscle specific gene such as MyoD that will promote expression of p21 to block cell cycle and will drive differentiation into myotubes. Complete differentiation to myotubes requires shifting the serum to 2% horse serum in the media to slow down the proliferation progress. In this experiment, we will plate the C2C12 cells in three different densities on one 6-well plate and two 8-chamber slides.…
One thing that many living things require is the need for muscles in order to function. Humans are composed of more than half their body weight of muscle (Saunders, 2016). Muscles are the building blocks of an abundant amount of functions. For example, muscles are required in order to help many organisms eat, protect themselves, most movements, etc. The basic unit of muscles is referred to as a sarcomere, and when it contracts it excretes a force.…
Proteins are complex molecules that serve a variety of functions within the body. Proteins are made up of subunits called amino acids. There are several different types of amino acids such as lysine, aspartic acid, and histidine. Each type of amino acids have their own specific group called R-groups attached to them, this causes them to behave chemically different. The group on the amino acid histidine cause the amino acid to be basic; this feature of histidine makes it have a specific purpose in proteins, such as binding other molecules or atoms to a protein and also participating in a catalytic triad.…
Phenylketonuria PKU The phenylketonuria is a disease and a rare condition in which a baby is born without the ability to properly break down an amino acid. To explain, the body needs proteins for the growth and building new cells and repair membranes, body gets protein from meat, fish, milk, eggs, grains, nuts, and then converts the protein into amino acids. The body gets rid of amino acids that are needed across the urine. Babies with this disease are missing an enzyme its called phenylalanine hydroxylase, which is needed to break down an essential amino acid called phenylalanine. The substance is found in foods that contain protein.…
Muscle building is not just for body builders. Exercises and a diet that help you build muscle are good for your health, your overall fitness, your body image, and will raise your self- esteem. A balanced muscle building program will result in an additional 1 to 5 pounds of lean muscle mass per month. Where to start? There are many misconceptions about muscle building.…
alternatives to synthetic growth hormones The Fastest Trick to Gain Muscle Mass For some people increasing muscle mass is easy, whereas some have to strive harder to increase the muscle definition. You are working 3 to 4 times in a week; you are seriously doing all your exercise mentioned in your training schedule. On the contrary, you are getting slow gains or no gains at all. Whatever the case is, it will make you frustrated and search for different things on the Internet. This is the time when you may ask different questions to fitness instructors as well as dietitians.…
Do you know what a muscle fiber is? A muscle fiber is a single muscle tissue cell. There are three types of muscles. The skeletal, visceral, and cardiac. The skeletal muscles are voluntary, while the visceral muscles are involuntary.…

The human body has many amazing qualities and so many of them are made up of small proteins. Keratin is the main component of your hair, skin, and nails. Integrin acts a sort of messenger. Cadherin acts a binder, creating the structure of cells. So many different proteins help make the world turn waiting the human body, but they do different things.…
In today’s generation many individuals go to the gym to lift weights so that they can build bigger and stronger skeletal muscle. Flexing in the mirror for self-confidence to building muscle for impressing the ladies, little do these individuals realize how their muscle works while they pump the iron. The muscular system is the network of tissues that help controls movement throughout the body using contraction and relaxation of different muscles. This system is divided into two classes, skeletal (voluntary) and smooth (involuntary).…
What Should a Pesco-vegetarian Expect to Achieve? To become a pesco-vegetarian is challenging in the beginning, because meat is delicious, and many of us are not readily or willing to cut it out of our lifestyles. Reducing and eliminating the meat that we consume is an easy first step towards increased health.…
