Myostatin Inhibition Theory

Meaning

The Myostatin Inhibition Theory is a scientific hypothesis and an emerging therapeutic concept proposing that selectively blocking the biological action of the myostatin protein can result in significant, controlled increases in skeletal muscle mass and functional strength. Myostatin is a naturally occurring growth factor that functions as a powerful negative regulator, essentially a ‘brake,’ on muscle development. This theory suggests that inhibiting this endogenous constraint can effectively counteract age-related sarcopenia and physical decline.
