Myostatin is a protein that is in the human body. It is specially encoded by the MSTN gene and is usually in the skeletal muscle cells to inhibit muscle growth and differentiation.

How does someone get myostatin deficiency?
your born with it
How do you say myostatin?
"MY-OH-STAT-IN"
How can you find out if a child has a myostatin deficiency?
When you see your baby abs showing a little at that age and muscle on the back and arms. You will see that they have myostatin. When you don't see any. When they are one years old let them do one chin up and when they can they are myostatin.
What is Myostatin and how does it effect the human muscels?
Myostatin is the protein that is secreted to initiate growth. It effects the muscles because it inhibits muscle differentiation and growth.
Where is myostatin found?
It is found in the skeletal muscle of mammals.
What is Myostatin usually used for?
Myostatin is a protein which is found in certain persons. It is made in the cells of muscles, and is carried through ones blood stream where it attaches itself to other muscles. From there, it inhibits their growth.
Can Myostatin supplementation in turn lower natural Myostatin levels?
My human physiology is a bit rusty but if I remember correctly hormone supplementation can inhibit the body's ability to produce that hormone on its own. So my question is this: could supplementation with myostatin (GDF8) effect (read: lower or shut down) the body's ability to produce the hormone on it's own?
How do you get big biceps and triceps without working out any way what so ever?
If you have a genetic defect in myostatin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myostatin ha! if it is not the condition above, then im certain that it is not actually possible unless you have a disorder or peculiar growth spurt. good luck, if you do find out, please tell me
What has the author Joey Tremblay written?
Joey Tremblay has written: 'The role of calcineurin in the regulation of myostatin expression during skeletal muscle growth'
Is there a disease that causes muscle growth?
myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy which increases muscle mass while lowering body fat. This rare condition is also called myotonic hypertrophy
How much body fat does a belgian blue cow have?
Very little, much less than Angus, Shorthorn or Simmentals have, thanks to the myostatin mutation that allows less connective tissue and fat in the muscle fibres of this breed of beef cattle.
Are Belgian blue continental cattle?
A Belgian blue is an animal that appears to have way more muscle mass on it than normal. Some people think that it is caused by overdose of steriods, or "working out in the gym," both of which are false. The gene myostatin has been mutated to allow this double muscling to occur in this breed.
