ok, talked to a med. student and he told me T3 increases it. That is why many use it while bulking(and also to hold fat away) at a low dose. I then red the medicine litterature he had and It seemed to be true.
T3 increases both protein synthesis(anabolism) and protein turnover(catabolism).
It essentially works through proteolytic pathways.
T3 gives you the ability to process more fats, carbs and proteins.
One problem though,
If taken alone, your body will use proteins(amino-acids) at an accelerated rate. Your body cannot simply raise its own anabolic environment(protein synthesis) to counter-act this.
Result: You lose muscle mass.
Now, lets add AAS.
The AAS curb the catabolic portion of the thyroxines(T3's)
effects and also increase protein synthesis.
Result: You have achieved a higher anabolic environment than AAS alone by increasing your metabolism of proteins(protein turnover).
As a bonus, you have also increased fat-burning.(Remember that
thyroid hormones increase the processing of FATS, carbs and proteins)
