    Building muscle builds new muscle nuclei, which stay even after the muscle is atrophied because of detraining https://t.co/lpogTGnanf

    @Eingrau @AnikiRip Just checked: It's called Nucleis (or myonucleis). They are built when you build muscle, but they stay for a long time (dormant), even if you lose the muscle. When you start exercising again; they spring into action and allow for faster muscle re-growth. https://t.co/KiWpAR1XWD

    @CyberVirgem @StuProductions Nesse sentido, em um estudo de 2010 em camundongos foram encontrados mionúcleos de fibras musculares aumentados após exercício, com os mionúcleos adquiridos retidos durante a fase de destreinamento. https://t.co/AGOfTzerDL

    En estudios recientes dicen hay un tipo de «memoria celular» pero dentro de las celulas musculares, explica el fenómeno de recuperar rápidamente la masa muscular perdida. Y esta «memoria» está relacionada al número de mionúcleos de las células musculares. https://t.co/Di78qPDO5z

Abstract Synopsis

  • Myonuclei added during strength training are established before muscle size increases and are retained even after periods of inactivity, helping maintain muscle memory.
  • These nuclei are protected from cell death during muscle atrophy caused by disuse or denervation, suggesting a lasting cellular component to muscle strength and size.
  • The capacity to generate new myonuclei declines with age, highlighting the importance of early strength training, and anabolic steroids may enhance myonuclei retention, impacting doping regulations.
