Old post, but had to say this.Short of gene therapy, that would be extremely difficult if not impossible. You could maybe give the recombinant protein IV but that would likely have more off target effects than would a monoclonal given IV.

HDAC inhibitors upregulate follistatin. So there.
Can anyone post any pics of this wunderkid? The article from New England Journal of Medicine seems to imply that it's possible to build muscle mass without the associated hypertrophy of the heart as this kid is twice the size but his heart appears to be normal sized.
Why not just take androgens? They are effective at decreasing myostatin expression.

These unimpressive results though are compared to injections in the soleus. In the soleus the results were impressive with significant myostatin reductions across all dosing schemes.
So what is the difference between the fiber make up of the soleus and the gastrocnemius?
It may be that testosterone has more of a significant reduction in myostatin across the slower twitch fiber types?
pumbertot said:ouch thats going to hurt a bit, though i guess we could squeeze test suspension through a 25g.
pumbertot said:but those results are site specific? i mean as the test goes systemic surely the soleus would benefit as much from the gastrocnemius shot? or site specific effects only?
pumbertot said:so this would add weight to the age old argument about whether site injections of AAS cause localized growth.
I squeeze grapeseed oil based compounds through a 25 gauge.
I assume that they didn't care.
Inject in the soleus cut the bastard open but don't bother looking elsewhere.
Inject in the gastrocnemius cut the bastard open but don't bother looking elsewhere.
Report findings and start writing up the next grant-based study proposal...
Not really. ...it is only relevant to the extent you think the anti-myostatin effect takes place locally ...then there is a matter of degree (meaning is it even enought to notice).
I saw this thread and kinda skipped to the end. I just wanted to point out that anti-bodies are used in a lab to measure the amount of a substance in blood. There are companies that sell a whole list of every anti-body you could think of. I have no idea what would happen if you injected them, Im guessing your immune system would attack them since they are a foreign substance??????
Im also guessing that these websites selling research chemicals are just selling it because it sounds good. Again, I dont know, this is out of my league. I do know that anti-bodies are used with very expensive machines to measure things like growth hormone and stuff.
This is a picture of him at 7 months of age:
