good discussion of sarcopenia.

amino acid leucine promotes muscle protein synthesis

Omega-3 shown to increase muscle growth

pre/post exercise supplementation important in maintaining muscle function and promoting muscle growth

leucine shown to increase muscle protein synthesis post exercise

skeletal muscles very important in fat metabolism

exercise and muscle very important to maintaining weight loss long-term.  Calorie restriction results in muscle mass loss and this will impair the ability to maintain weight loss long term

L-Arginine shifts from fat building to muscle building

skeletal muscles are key to metabolic syndrome

Carbohydrates required to restore muscle/liver glycogen stores.  This older article, abstract available, points to 8-10 grams of carbohydrates/kg body weight.  Though repletion of glycogen stores can occur, recovery of muscle performance may require longer time.  Studies have point to 4-6 days.

Testosterone therapy in men with low Testosterone, over 34 weeks, found to improve metabolism, reduce fat and increase muscle mass and not associated with any increase cardiovascular risk.

Testosterone therapy in men with low Testosterone was found to improve insulin sensitivity, total cholesterol levels, LDL, Lpa, and sexual performance in men with low T, type II diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome.  There is suggestion that muscle composition was improved as well.

low T in men, small study, found to decrease muscle growth, decreased strength as a result, decrease in fat oxidation/breakdown and increase in fat stores.  Low T turns the muscle:fat ratio in men upside down--the result is a metabolic derailment.

Not really a surprise, but citrulline shown to stimulate anabolic muscle growth.

Forearm splint is the term used to describe the forearm pain similarly the pain of lower leg over the shin is known as shin splints. Forearm splint describes the painful disease of elbow or wrist joint. Continuous pain in forearm is often caused by tendonitis, joint injury or hairline fracture of forearm bones (proximal radius or ulna near elbow joint). Overstretching of the elbow joint often causes forearm injury. Symptoms consist of a dull pain in the forearm. Pain is minor initially but increases as activity continues. Often pin-pointed to the dorsal or back of the hand side of the forearm, mid-way between the wrist and elbow. The patient may experience weakness in the wrist extensor muscles and tenderness deep in the forearm. Pain may be reproduced by attempting to bend the wrist backwards against resistance. They provided wrist splints are used in different medical institutions and hospitals for management of hand fractures. Our offered wrist splints are manufactured by skilled professionals using optimum quality basic material and advanced technology as per the set norms of market. As well, these wrist splints can be availed in v

A brain is an organ often composed of Connective tissues and nerve cells. The brain contains three important parts including breathe controlling and muscles like moving muscles and sensing like emotions breathing, memory thinking and somewhat personality.
