    Mimicking the Massively Muscular

    Interesting...

    Mimicking the Massively Muscular

    New drugs that mimic mutations found in buff animals could treat muscle-wasting diseases

    Scattered throughout the mammalian menagerie are a few supermuscular freaks: double-muscled cows more ripped than any bodybuilder; racing dogs too burly to run; sheep praised for their massively muscled buttocks; and even one small German boy, born in 2000 with muscles twice the size of those of a normal newborn. All these Herculean creatures share one thing: naturally occurring mutations in a gene that produces myostatin, a protein that blocks growth of skeletal muscle. Disable that gene, and viola--spectacular muscle growth results.

    Over the past few years, pharmaceutical companies have been racing to develop ways to mimic myostatin gene mutations in the hope of treating everything from the muscle loss that accompanies muscular dystrophy, cancer, and aging to obesity and other metabolic disorders. Pharmaceutical giants Wyeth and Amgen are expected to release clinical-trial results of myostatin inhibitors for muscle-wasting diseases within the next few months. A smaller company, Acceleron Pharma, based in Cambridge, MA, says that its more broadly acting drug could bring more brawn than can drugs targeting myostatin alone.
    More to read on the link. I didnt know it was this close.

    I dont think it will be that magic, hope not. I mean if you give a cow some roids it will grow without doing anything. But humans dont. So maby this will just be a replacement for steroids but with less sides and you still have to workout.

    The problem is that it will probably be illegal aswell since all the sports federations will be against it.

    No doubt, trying to fight doping in sports is a hopeless battle. Not to mention how utterly boring many sports would be if the athletes didnt juice.

    Lets hope toying around with myostatin is untraceable so that sports has to allow it or die.

    they only thing that would suck is that you trained your ass off all your life trying to be in tip top shape and then some fatass is gonna get this and achieve it in 2-3 months. Its also gonna change the persona of buff ppl. becuase now that everyone can get buff girls arent gonna be that attracted to it anymore. hey but if it can help ppl out then im happy for it....

    Now would there be any side effects with it? With anything good there seems to always be a price.

    I think it only effects muscle tissue so it should have very few sides. Less than hormones.

    But who knows at this stage though.

    I remember seeing that boy on a t.v. show a few years ago, anyone know any sites that might have recent pics? Im sure he is well documented on, poor kid is probably basically a lab rat.
