I am trying to learn here fellas. Will your body make more receptors as you gain size? Would this mean that juice would become more effective as you grow?

The amount of hormone receptors in your body is predetermined at birth. That is why some people take small amounts of AS, get unbelieveable results, and keep all of it, while others.....no. Think of it another way...the receptors in your scalp also don't change. So some guys, regardless of AS usage, keep all their hair, i.e. they don't increase the number of "negative" hormone receptors in their scalp. But others who experience mild hair loss before, lose an alarming amount of hair during a cycle, just because they have a much larger percentage of the respective receptor. Hope that makes sense....

Let me rephrase the question. When you gain mass (cells) would your body make more receptors to go along with the mass you gained? You may have already answered this but you lost me with the hair thing. Buzzzzzzzzzz IP: Logged |

When you grow, muscle cells you already have enlarge(hypertrophy) but do not increase in number(hyperplasia). There is no conclusive evidence that hyperplasia even occurs in humans that I know about. They sort of proved it with birds using these rediculous methods such as holding their wings stretched constantly for three weeks...and that wasn't even really significant. So since you have the same number of cells before and after, your receptor number won't change....only its sensitivity to the drug. IP: Logged |

Im pretty sure that HGH causes muscular hyperplasia. You did answer my question though. IP: Logged |

X....as far as what I have been taught, no. But there really have not been human studies in the realm of our interest...ethics and all. It definitely would be in the best interests of those with HIV wasting disease to study it further, but all they give those folks is Anavar and Deca right now. They were researching cyp when I was in school. IP: Logged |

Hey thats the quastion i wanted to ask too but i thought id get flamed or no one would answer me as usual.i still dont get it but my quastion was more like this: the smaller you are the less receptors you have in your body so u need to take less juice? and when you do get bigger you have more receptors so you would need more juice to get bigger? ------------------ IP: Logged |
