Myostatin Blocker *Update*

[bmjaa]

most of you will remember articles that ran in the muscle mags a few months ago about a new drug that blocks the protein myostatin. This drug is perported to blow the socks off AS or HGH in its ability to grow muscles to freaky porportions.

Anyway, picked this tidbit up today on the business wire about the company involved in the creation of this new drug/treatment...

MetaMorphix collects three new patents
Michele Berk Staff
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued three new patents to MetaMorphix Inc., an agricultural biotech company.

The Savage, Maryland based company, which develops products to increase the nutritional value of poultry and swine, received three patents for different uses of its technology that uses the protein Myostatin.

One patent covers the use of Myostatin for the treatment of Type II diabetes. Another covers the use of Myostatin to increase muscle growth in livestock, which would increase the muscle-to-fat ratio.

A third patent was issued to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine for the use of Myostatin to increase skeletal muscle tissue. MetaMorphix bought the exclusive rights to the Myostatin technology from Johns Hopkins.

The company sublicensed its technology to Wyeth in January 1999 for research and development of products for humans using Myostatin. MetaMorphix is receiving licensing payments and will receive royalties from any commercial products developed using Myostatin.

Does this stuff increase cardiac and/or smooth muscle as well as skeletal?

Skeletal Muscle - I think -

Does this stuff increase cardiac and/or smooth muscle as well as skeletal?

From what little data is out there today I would venture to guess only skelatal muscle is affected....

 

[decadense]

This stuff is going to have profound effects on bodybuilding, athletics, cancer/aids wasting and diseases like muscular dystrophy. Looks like you grow 3x larger without working out.

But will it make facial and neck muscles grow too large? And what about the heart?

I estimate this compound will be available underground within a year.

You guys can wait for this to be released or you can try Juiced Protein with MYOZAP.

Almighty - Too Funny.. especially when I checked out the marketing pitch for the product... see below...

The first protein supplement that unlocks a key genetic regulator of muscle growth. If you consider yourself a “hard gainer” or just feel like you’ve maxed out your potential for growth, Pinnacle scientists have come up with a powerful answer!

New Pinnacle Juiced Protein delivers a muscle-building advantage never before available to the general public. It’s not just a little better than other protein powders on the market, it makes them all obsolete!

KFC breeding gigantic chickens three times normal size! McDonald's raising massive cows yielding 6 times more meat! Researchers at Johns Hopkins creating "mighty mice" 200 to 300% more muscular that ordinary field mice

I saw that ad in muscle mag, has two pictures of mice underneath a heat light showing the 200 to 300 % increase in muscular development. Im sure Pinnacle wouldnt do any false advertisement.
