Download the podcast this article relates to at superhumanradio.net You will probably remember from the SuppVersity  Facebook news (@SuppVersity |  March 15, 2018 ) that scientists believe that they've found the molecule that's responsible for the rejuvenating effects of "young blood". In their study, which expanded on rodent data indicating that the injection of "young blood", i.e. blood from young mice, into the circulation of old(er) mice has multi-dimensional rejuvenating effects, the researchers grew  human  muscle cells (C2C12 myoblasts) in a petri dish and stimulated them w/ media conditioned with 5% plasma from healthy male participants that were either younger (n = 6, 18–35) or older (n = 6, >57 years). What Kalampouka et al. ( 2018 ) observed was that the muscle cells reacted differently to a stimulus in form of a scratch (intended to simulate muscular injury and recovery) depending on whether the cultured in media conditioned plasma from ...

Adelfo Cerame: How to Manage Training & Nutrition Around a Busy Life. Plus: Science Round Up Sneak Preview

Written by | published on

If there is a one body part, where Adelfo has really made awesome progress in the last months, it's his back - by the wa that's a different "back" than in "training back-to-back" of which you'll read in this installment of his now biweekly posts ;-) It probably sounds strange, but last week I have really been missing Adelfo's update. Not because it's more work for me to write yet another blogpost... ah, whatever. There's another one today and there will be the next one in two weeks time from now :-) Before we are getting to more details on how Adelfo's contest prep and the rest of his increasingly busy (as you will see in a very positive kind of way) life, let's get to the sneak peak on today's SuppVersity Science Round Up . I felt the show last week was awesome and must pad my own shoulder for having the ingenious idea to simply pack those news that did not fit in, as well as "bonus material", into a writte...

Image 1: Don't get stressed with doing everything right, just do it ;-) Sometimes its strange how things get together unplanned. With me being on Carl Lanore's Super Human Radio, today at 1pm EST ( click here to listen live! ), talking about what happens when science and the real world "collide" and how both scientific paradigms and conventional wisdom are probably the most common causes of questionable conclusions (science) and lack of results (real world) and Adelfo sending me his weekly update on how the "wanna lose fat, got to cut calories"-paradigm is still bothering him... Five weeks out and putting bees into my own bonnet! I am counting the days, ... mainly because I don’t know what else to do with myself *lol* - It just feels like I need to do something to manipulate my training and my diet even further, but I really can’t do much at this point, but stay the course… I’m trying not to cut any more calories, because I want to avoid either losin...

Amino Acids for Super Humans, Part IV - Purported Ergogenics (3/3): Glutamine, the Anabolic Immune Booster?

Written by | published on

Image 1: Still one of the top- sellers in almost all supplement shops - l-glutamine ; tip : buying bulk powder will save money Although glutamine is one of the non-essential amino acids , even the fact that your body continuously 'sacrifices' truly essential amino acids to synthesize glutamine in your muscle tissue, should go to tell you that, after all, glutamine, the most abundant amino acid in human muscle and plasma , cannot be so non-essential as its classification would suggest. Under normal conditions it forms 50% of the whole body amino acid pool. In cells, esp. muscles, where glutamine makes up 66% of the amino acid pool. Within the cellular space, the purported cell-volumizer can reach concentrations that are up to 33 times higher than on the outside of the cell. In times of acute stress, severe burns or surgical trauma, on the other hand, tissue glutamine levels have been observed to decline by up to -50% - ...
