A member asked:
I'm very confused :does sarcoplasmic hypertrophy requires testosterone and protein synthesis process ? if not how muscle sarcoplasm is increased?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Body building ;: Exercise build up muscle saroplasm. Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy essentially means enlargement of muscle cells ; hence size of muscles. Sarcoplasm is the basic raw material of muscle cells in which all the other cellular material is embedded. It requires adequate protein intake. Your natural body testosterone suffices ; no extra is needed, in fact can be dangerous.
