The stomach sends hunger signals to the brain in the form of ghrelin (blue arrow), prompting the brain to send a growth hormone to muscle tissue (pink line). In the foreground, a closer look at the muscle reveals the growth hormone (pink orbs) influencing BCL6 (purple blob) to attach to the cell’s DNA (purple...
Combining a resistance workout and electrical muscle stimulation leads to greater muscle mass and strength than resistance training aloneThe University of Texas at El Paso (note: original image extended using generative tools)New research suggests that using a standard, portable, non-invasive electrical muscle stimulator during resistance training can lead to greater improvements in both muscle...
