Most uses of bioassay involving smooth muscle demand high sensitivity and specificity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As analytical pharmacologists, what we are allowed to see of a new molecule's properties is totally dependent on the techniques of bioassay we use.
Commonly, athletes will bolster their dietary intake with everyday vitamins such as magnesium and iron as well as more exotic products such as whey protein, creatine, carnitine and branched-chain amino acids specifically aimed at improving performance and recovery time.
I train in different modalities so that each muscle is targeted twice a week, with two days of rest in between.
Whatever muscles I have are the product of my own hard work and nothing else.
Part of my daily regime is my glucosamine and, of course, a multitude of multivitamins. Branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, of course protein. I have one protein shake a day, and that is immediately after my training.
All I ever promised was that I was sure I could develop a new pharmacological agent which might answer a physiological question. Any utility would be implicit in that answer.
I used biomechanics to save time when I was competing.
I take magnesium to prevent cramps. A few years back, I suffered from hamstring tears, and part of that can be to do with muscle cramping, and then pushing the muscle at that point. I also take a fish oil supplement.
When your goal is to put on muscle mass you must increase your calorie intake as you increase the activity level being given to the muscle.
I use very few muscles at the best of times.
