The closest we have come to Male Physical Perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Now read this Article Courtisy of: http://www.musclephotos.com/myogene.html October 1, 1998 Re: Flex Wheeler To whom it may concern: I am writing this letter per the request of Flex Wheeler. I would first like to briefly provide you with some background information regarding BALCO Laboratories. BALCO has been working with elite Olympic and professional athletes for over fifteen years. BALCO has provided testing and consultation for over 250 NFL players including the entire 1998 Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos team and the entire Miami Dolphins team. BALCO works with professional athletes in many sports including teenis (Michael Chang, Jim Courier, etc.), hockey, bodybuilding (10 of the 16 1998 Mr. Olympia contestants), track and field, soccer and basketball (Seattle SuperSonics). BALCO Laboratories has been testing and monitoring Flex on a routine basis during the last year. We have performed tests including blood chemistry (SMAC), complete blood count (CBC), PSA, anabolic hormone levels, genotyping as well as comprehensive testing for nutritional elements. Flex's test results have been compared to twenty-four other professional bodybuilders and overall he has one of the healthiest profiles. Basically, Flex is in excellent health and has demonstrated the discipline necessary to maintain a peak level of conditioning. Flex was a participant in a study we recently conducted in collaboration with the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Pittsburgh involving 62 men who made unusually large gains in muscle mass in response to strength training (extreme responders). Flex was one of only nine extreme responders that had the very rare "myostatin mutation." Myostatin is the gene that "limits muscle growth." Specifically, Flex had the rarest form of myostatin mutation at the "exon 2" position on the gene. This simply means Flex has a much larger number of muscle fibers compared to the other subjects or the normal population. We believe that these are the very first myostatin mutation findings in humans and the results of this landmark study have already been submitted for publication. Flex was also found to have a very unusual type of the IGF-1 gene. In fact, Flex was the only participant in the study that did not have a "match." All of the other extreme responders had at least three other subjects with a matching IGF-1 gene. Based upon Flex's very unique genetic profile, we plan to expeditiously publish a scientific paper that reveals his complete genotype in specific detail. The publication of his remarkable genetic data should generate an enormous amount of media exposure. Hope this information will be helpful and please call if I can be of assistance. Sincerely, /s/ Victor Conte Victor Conte

Now here are are the Implications of this Article. This is what people like E2, Myself, and the others are awaiting!! This is the future of bodybuilding! Steroids???? Shit, we havn't seen anything yet! Wonder if Elite Select is getting information this exciting and intriguing? A review of recent findings on myostatin - a gene which controls muscle growth -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- J. Bass, J. Oldham, M. Sharma and R. Kambadur The enlarged muscles of certain breeds of cattle, such as the Belgian Blue, have been shown to result from a marked increase in the number of normal sized muscle fibres. Originally insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) were implicated in this myofibre hyperplasia. Recently it has been reported that mice lacking a myostatin gene, a member of the TGFBeta super family, have enhanced skeletal mass resulting from increased muscle fibre number and size. Mutations in this gene have been found in double muscled cattle, indicating that myostatin is an inhibitor of muscle growth. Myostatin is expressed early in gestation and then maintained to adulthood in certain muscles. Myostatin expression in bovine muscle is highest during gestation when muscle fibres are forming and some of the myogenic regulatory factors have elevated expression over the same period as myostatin. Myostatin and MyoD, a myogenic regulatory factor expression in muscle have been shown to differ between normal and hypertrophied muscle cattle breeds. This evidence strongly suggests that lack of myostatin is associated with an increase in fibre number which then results in a marked increase in potential muscle mass in double muscled cattle. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Twisted_Steel (edited October 03, 2000).] | ||

I heard about the myostatin gene, it acts like a governor in a car, if you are able to remove it, huge muscle growth is attainable. They have already done this in mice, saw the pics in a flex mag or something and the mice pecs and arms and thighs were massive!! ------------------ | ||

Unfortunately TS you and I and the rest of those outside the HGP group will probably not have access to this for another 20-30 years. But we can dream... | ||

The problem with the myostatin mice is that they all became lethargic and apathetic. Somehow when the myostatin is removed it creates this imbalance that causes this reaction. I don't know if the same would happen in humans, but I don't think I want to find out... ------------------ "Don't eat me! eat Dredd! he works out!" - From Judge Dredd. | ||

Balco Labs - inventors of ZMA. These are the guys who figured out how to sell you zinc and magnesium for 40 bucks a month through those pirates at T-Mag. Great job, BTW, Twisted in continuing your quality posting on this free forum. [This message has been edited by ironmaster (edited October 04, 2000).] | ||
