how would rosiglitazone(avandia), say at 2 mg with his heaviest carb meal help a natural athlete?
say 2 mg taken daily for a duration of 12 weeks.
i am thinking since the insulin sensitivity is increased quite significantly, maybe the athlete will be able to utilize carbs better, experience better pumps at the gym, lower appetite?
would it reduce central obesity? i know metformin does, not sure about avandia.
looking at these factors, isnt it a smart product to use?
am looking for inputs.
 
I know this is an old post, but I have been looking into Avandia quite a bit recently. I think it would be a good drug to use for the "natural" athlete. Sure, recently they have come out and say it increases your risk of heart problems, but that is only because there is some mild water retention that comes along with using avandia, which obviously isn't good for your blood pressure/heart, but I wouldn't worry about that too much, as long as you keep your dosages in check. I think avandia would be a much better option than metformin (glucophage) for bodybuilders.
 
Actually, I was just reading some of Nandi's old research and he believes and studies have shown avandia to increase bodyfat (albeit not by much), but I have a lot more to read about this.
