Chemical link to muscle strength found by researchers
Researchers at Duke University and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center identify a chemical pathway that strengthens muscle cells during regular exercise. The study shows CaMK drives mitochondria growth and slow twitch muscle development, suggesting possible pills to mimic exercise benefits for heart, lung disease, and diabetes patients while noting abuse potential among athletes.
