that you have more satellite cells in your muscle tissue, that could be a huge advantage in terms of gaining muscle mass when you activate those satellite cells.
You're primed with more satellite cells.
You train for 16 weeks.
You activate a subpopulation of those to fuse to myofibers, adding myonuclei, which we talked about being important.
And then those cells can grow, I think in his paper, the extreme responders saw like a 60% increase in fiber CSA.
That's crazy.
That is nuts.
Yes, yes.
So satellite cells are critically important, A. B, we think that ribosome content and the response to training is important.
So ribosomes are macromolecules.
Some people call them organelles.
They reside inside of the cell.
They themselves have 80 proteins glommed together.
You have this large, small subunit.
When the large and small subunits sort of coalesce around messenger RNA, it translates that messenger RNA into protein.
So that's muscle protein synthesis when you talk about that inside of a muscle cell.
We published a paper, Brooks Mobley in the lab, part of his PhD work, showing that in our hands, the high responders to 12 weeks of resistance training
saw the greatest response to training in terms of increasing muscle ribosome content.
So now our theoretical framework is if you have the muscle ribosome response to training, and if you walk into the gym with more satellite cells, you should be primed if you train consistently to be a relatively higher responder.
Okay.
