Thanks, micmic.I have also read that myonuclei number is related to the mitochondrial number.And fiber size is inversely propotional to the oxidative capacity.So,I supppose fibersize, oxidative capacity and myonuclei number are all depenedent and competeing with each other for space. So, for...

Increase in myonuclei number to hypertrophy and decrease in myonuclei to atrophy is basically an additional mechanism for increasing or decreasing the protein synthesis mechanism.So,if there is no protein available for synthesis there is no reason for the muscle to maintain those additional...

Protein synthesis and protein break down is always happening in the muscle cell.In this way, cells retain the ability to adapt to a new environment or the diverse demands placed on it.If pprotein were permenanatly placed afer synthesis, there would be no way tp change them.So the proteins are...

Accordng to Lyle, De novo lipogenesis only happens under most etreme conditions: a. 700-900 g carbs/day for many days b. diets with <10% dietary fat content under normal dietary conditions, it is a quantitatively irrelevant pathway.Though glycogen repletion in ur muscles and liver triggers...

In the article above, they talk about how impossible it is to make low carb bars.He says if you can chew, it should be atleast 30 to 40% carbs in it. Pretty much all the bars in the market claim to have carbs less than 10 or 15%.So are they lying flat out or is there any new technology that...

The number of capsules you have to take is determined by the amount of EPA/DHA in it.If the capsule says 300mg of (EPA+DHA), you have to take 10 capsules to get 3 gms, 20 capsules for 6 gms.Of course, you may have to buy it every two weeks if you are taking 10 capsules a day!But, you have to...

I was curious to know what is the time limit when the body starts eating away muscles for energy.Does it depends on intensity, duration or the availability of protein.Why doesthe body have to go for your muscles if there is still glycogen and fat left to be tapped? Is there any difference in...

I have read that when we first start training increase in strenth is due to neural adaptation and hypertrophy comes after 3-4 mnths.And, if I am right, this is one of he reason why it is no use changing exercises for the same muscle group because you spend half the time learning the movement...
