Hormonal Control of Regional Fat Distribution

Submitted by RonnyT on Mon, 2015-10-19 09:31

The regional fat distribution in humans is clearly regulated by hormones, although genetic factors also play important roles. Not only sex steroid hormones are of importance, since adrenal corticosteroids also play a major role. This is seen clinically for example in Cushing's syndrome. In addition, peptide hormones such as insulin and growth hormone (GH) are important regulators of adipose tissue distribution, often on the basis of 'permissive' effects of the steroid hormones. In other words, steroid hormones provide a more long-term adaptation to permit the acute effects of peptide and catecholaminergic hormones.

Fascia Stretching Training

High-rep pump sets with light or moderate weights at the end of a workout have been used for decades. There many different training-protocols leading to the same result, namely pumping up the muscle with blood. You can decrease the weights with every set. You can pump to failure. Do “100’s “ etc etc.

Renaming it as “FST-7” is only a way to make it look like a new concept and thus more marketable. What’s not new either, and just like what happens to bodybuilding itself, hard core extremists also push this concept to new level by adding SEO’s, peptides, opiates, silica and of course roids. More about that later….

St. John's Wort

St. John’s Wort is an effective alternative to many antidepressants based on the literature that I have reviewed.

But, you'll find in North America at least, the powers that be are trying to shape the view of this herb to be less efficacious than it really is. It's in the best interest of drug companies after all to promote their products and discredit other viable alternatives.

Real ostarine

After reading some wonderful reviews on SARMs, I decided to give them a try.

In my opinion Ostarine would be the most suitable compound. I ordered myself some API (raw powder) and asked my buddy if he would punch me some tablets. So I started to search for the best dose.

I know that the doses used in medical studies are mostly very low. And that is partly because in those studies are made to treat certain medical conditions and bodybuilders and other iron warriors want to use it for off label reasons. That why I mostly try to find logs that describe the effects and side effects of certain doses on the different discussion forums.
