3 THINGS I LEARNED TODAY:

FACT1: IGF-1 has both an anabolic effect on protein synthesis and an anticatabolic effect on protein degradation in skeletal muscle, similar to insulin. Protein synthesis is more sensitive to IGF-1 infusion than to insulin infusion and is not mediated by insulin receptors. On the contrary, insulin affects protein turnover by inhibiting protein degradation.

FACT 2: Anabolic: is defined as any state in which nitrogen is differentially retained in lean body mass, either through stimulation of protein synthesis and/or decreased breakdown of protein anywhere in the body.
**(So basically if a scientist does a study with any compound; whether synthetic, organic, naturally occuring and it does just one of the definitions above, they can call it anabolic! Kinda messed up when it comes to classifying a compound by science or a Government Agency or by a company selling a product. It makes way for all kinds of fake plant sterols/brassinosteroids, ecdysterones that don’t even work to be sold as effective! and other truly effective products to be made banned or illegal or research only).

FACT 3: All anabolic steroids are also androgenic, as they stimulate growth and function of the reproductive system. Individual drugs vary in their balance of anabolic/androgenic activity, but none of the currently available drugs are purely anabolic.


I obviously know some of this but, in the way it was written I see the definition{words} more clearly.
