Comment réduire la myostatine ? Ce truc tout bête à faire

NOUVEAU 👉 Comment réduire la myostatine ? Ce truc tout bête à faire

Avant de savoir comment réduire la myostatine, vous devez comprendre comment ça fonctionne. Un peu de science, et d’où vient la myostatine : Le maintien de muscles forts et sains est très important pour bien vieillir. Avec notre mode de vie de plus en plus sédentaire et notre espérance de vie qui s’allonge, prendre soin de nos muscles devient une priorité. Vous avez peut-être entendu parler des…

I know it is an odd request, but do you know what may be going on with the frog in this image? The earliest date I can find of it being posted online is 2016, though it may be older.

The angle of the forelimbs looks biologically correct, so I am confident this is a real photo and not a photoshop job. A popular answer is that it is an ovigerous female, but that is obviously wrong. My guess would be that this frog has a myostatin mutation, causing enormous growth of its muscles. That is what causes muscular hypertrophy in cattle.

> Liam's story – part 2 < LiamMuscle: Hey Dr_Dale! My muscles are exploding! Absolutely amazing! Dr_Dale: Not surprised ;) Since you were so enthusiastic, I added another component to the pills that modifies the activity of IGF-1 in your body. IGF-1 is crucial for muscle growth and regeneration. LiamMuscle: What does that mean? Dr_Dale: Simply put, we're increasing the natural production and activity of IGF-1 in your muscles. This means your muscle cells will not only be able to grow without Myostatin's limit, but they will also grow and regenerate more efficiently thanks to the enhanced IGF-1 signal. LiamMuscle: What does IGF-1 do? Dr_Dale: IGF-1 stands for "Insulin-like Growth Factor 1". It's a protein that works similarly to insulin but is mainly responsible for growth and development in the body. IGF-1 is produced mainly in the liver and regulated by growth hormone. It promotes the growth of muscle cells, improves the healing of muscle tissue, and supports the development of new muscle cells from muscle stem cells. It's a key factor in muscle regeneration and growth. LiamMuscle: I only understand half of it. But what I do understand: More muscles. So, it's good. Dr_Dale: Good attitude. You don’t need to understand it. --- LiamMuscle: Hey Dr_Dale. My muscles are growing really well. But it’s all happening a bit too fast. Can we slow down the muscle growth or something? --- LiamMuscle: Hey Dr_Dale. Maybe you didn’t read my last message from two weeks ago. Can we slow down the muscle growth? I’m really having problems. I’ve stopped working out, but the muscles keep growing! --- LiamMuscle: I need help! Please answere me! I can barely walk because of the muscles. My arms are so muscular, I can hardly bend them. I need help with everything! I’m completely dependent on others! --- LiamMuscle: Plesse… I csn barrely type witj these thick fingers… Help! [Message was not delivered. Dr_Dale blocked you.]

I’ve heard some rumours and talks from big league Pokémon trainers about a thing sometimes found in wild Pokémon called “Poke-virus” or something? Apparently it makes Pokémon stronger. Feels kinda immoral if it’s true.

Pokerus is a known, though still not terribly well-studied, infectious disease which Pokemon can contract. It is transmitted through air, so a Trainer who has one Pokemon who caught the virus will likely find their entire team has been infected.

The virus is known to cause fever and shortness of breath. There are, oddly, no known cases of fatality to Pokerus, unless it exacerbates other major health issues. However, it is generally highly unpleasant, as it will cause difficulty in respiration, which makes exercise difficult.

There is a strange side effect of this, however, that a Pokemon who has it will find it easier to build muscle via training and exercise. It apparently affects myostatin production to increase skeletal musculature, or something to that effect.

Others have written much more in-depth discussions of the morality, so I will simply leave you to do your own research on that front rather than retrod old and worn arguments.

🖤NEW OC🖤:

●●●MEET RANDY●●●

Randy is a oc I've been slowly developing for a while! I'm using him for all of the yandere fandoms im into (some with some minor changes and some with some drastic ones) he's really just a fandomless oc that I've had for a while now, so I'm just sprinkling him into the ones I'm in :3

Now..About randy!:

Randy is a 8ft tall 23 year old who was born with gigantism and Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy! he does sound pretty monotone when he speaks, as well as also sounding very sarcastic sometimes but he loves the ones he cares about. he has a passion for fashion and use to be in a band in high-school he knows how to play the bass and piano. he currently has a job as a engineer and a side hustle of making fashionable clothes for bigger and taller people like himself!

weapon of choice: his fists

likes: baked goods, walks at night, solitude, exercise

dislikes: unessasary violence, anyone who hurts DD, when people ruin electronics for no reason, toxic masculinity

His background story:

(TW: VIOLENCE, TRUAMA, ARSON, DEATH AND TALK ABOUT DIEING)

~~°♡●•🖤•●•🖤•●•🖤•●•🖤•●♡°~~

Randy was born into..a not so great household, but he only took notice when he was 4 years of age. Disptie living in a big house almost mansion like house in the south woodland area of Hillsville his father was very abusive to him and his mother. One day when he was now 10 years old, his father and mother got into a huge fight, after, his father left for a few hours. In that time Randy and his mother where catching up on things, doing some good mother-son bonding time. But they where both intrupted by the smell of smoke, and before they knew it the whole house was caught on fire, trapping both Randy and his mother inside. Neither of them could escape due to how quickly the house caught on fire and how the house started tumbling down on his mother. Randy didn't want to leave his mother but his mother begged him to run before he dies..so he tries but all the exits where blocked so randy, on the first floor of the now burning down house was about to succumb to his inevitable death. He crawled back up to his now dead mother and laid beside her dead burnt up body..and as he thinks he's about to die he hears sounds, sounds of water. A small girl comes into his view with pastel pink skin and short light purple hair, a young 8 year old DD. She managed to get the hose from the side of their house and bring it inside spraying a pathway out. as soon as she saw randys body she sprayed him of any fire that was on him. holding the hose in her mouth and carrying Randy's body down the stairs and outside to a neighbors house. even though it hurt, and that he was only partially conscious he was so greatful for her coming to his rescue.

Randy was quickly rushed to the hospital, into the ER. where he had to undergo a

multiple surgeries and a blood transfusion which DD also provided being a O- bloodtype. his healing process took months and within that time his rich aunt decided to adopt him. once randy was out of the hospital he knew he was never going to be the same again. everytime the doctors tried to place doner-skin on him the skin always rejected, so they always had to take it off leaving a very very thin, almost see-through layer of skin right above his muscles, leaving him with a horrifying appearance. But over the years the doctors have noticed his skin was beginning to slowly heal, his non burnt skin slowly getting rid of the massive wound he had on the left side of his body, though doctors say he probably won't fully heal up till he's dead they can only watch and observe, along with giving him lots of medication to ease the pain.

His school life wasn't all that difficult, he went to a public school for middle school where him and DD hung out along with a couple other friends. In high-school he went to a private school, payed for by his aunt where he was separated from DD and his friends to focus in his grades and life plan. Randy was never really bullied in middle school or high-school due to how he looked, but he was rarely ever approached and often was looked at weird by other students.

Now that he's an adult he decided to move to doomsbury where DD lives, knowing he probably doesn't have much time to live, he wants to spend as much time as possible with his best friend as he can, knowing he probably only has 10 or less years in him.

(I hope this is clear enough for you all to understand!! I'm not the greatest at writing :<)

Facts about randy!:

●DD is his bff, but he could never date her due to his life expectancy (he doesn't want to break her heart)

●due to his wounds he's developed a very high pain tolerance

●he makes all of his clothes and alters all of his shoes

●Randy is a REALLY FAST runner

●Randy does not deal well with surgeries (he often rejects foreign organs and is really hard to wake up. doctors fear if he under goes to much surgeries he may fall into a coma)

●the news station in his hometown wanted to do yearly interviews to keep up with his life since his story and his father's arrest was such a big hit in his hometown but Randy refused, not liking the publicity and everyone knowing his business.

thats all for now! I hope you guys like him! I'll try to use him in more artworks coming up :3

On Role Models

I'm a Biology teacher, and tonight is open house. Because I teach AP, so I get to do much higher level stuff than the usual freshman Bio class, I'm giving a lecture instead of the more freeform approach most teachers take. That lecture is titled "How I Hacked My DNA, and You Can Too". And I'm going to talk about how your body is a constant dialog between cells of different types, including a whole ecosystem living in your large intestines. Thinking about human life in terms of evolutionary theory can help us understand those interactions better. Homo sapiens humans are the last humans standing because they were the ones that moved into marginalized habitats and found new and creative ways to gather food. There's a reason why human cities attract "specialized generalists" like foxes, rats, crows and raccoons. It's because those animals are also good at living in the margins. And so your health, mood, and life will be better if you remember that you're an omnivore with lots of different systems that draw from your diet and your gut bacteria, so take care of them. Eat more fermented foods, eat a wider variety of foods, supplement them with small doses of targeted vitamins and minerals rather than chugging down a bottle of pills every week.

And I'm introducing this with the story of Josiah Zayner.

If you watched "Unnatural Selection" on Netflix, Zayner is a major figure. They are a biohacker, and were experimenting with using CRISPR to modify the genes of people in vivo. Specifically, by selling DIY CRISPR kits at cost, and injecting themselves with myostatin blocking genes in order to give themselves huge muscles. And I watched "Unnatural Selection" and thought, that's a supervillain origin story. That's if the Green Goblin was a hipster.

But Zayner also recognized that they were on a dark path. Once they realized that letting untrained people possibly do permanent damage to themselves was a bad idea, and when corporations started sniffing around on how to monetize it, Zayner took a step back. And understood that their attempt to go full super serum was because they were dissatisfied with their appearance.

This is Jo Zayner now. She/they, emphasis on the she, just like I am. And now they're working on projects to make transition and playing with gender expression safer and easier, like biochemical breast implants that degrade in 48 hours. And she's working on making vaccines that are safer and have less side effects and you don't have to go through a big corporation to get them.

Now, Jo Zayner is one of my heroes. And I'm going to share that story with a roomful of parents and students, and I wanted to share that with you.

Uldwyn, Uldren, Crow, and Father Figures

One of the things that stands about the Sov siblings is that they don’t have a dad. They just have Osana, who is not a very good mother, being uninvolved and not affectionate (the fact Osana is not the mother kestrel in the story is another essay, but she isn’t). Considering the tech and how matriarchal the Yang Liwei seems to have been, given it adapted a monarchal matriarchy right quick in the Distributary, they might not have ever had a father outside the most bare biological sense. Osana might have opted for test tube twins. At any rate, no father is mentioned in any entry for the Sov twins. Not even a father figure.

I don’t think this was good for either of them, but I think it hit Uldwyn the worst. I spent a lot of time around young men in my time in the Army. The ones who didn’t have dads involved were obvious. They and a certain flavor of aimlessness and desire to prove themselves, a bad combo. Of course, men with involved fathers can have these problems, but it has a different feel to it.

We see this pretty plainly on display from Uldwyn when we’re introduced to him, all those years and a whole universe ago on the Yang Liwei:

Uldwyn grins messily at Mara over his opponent's shoulder. He's fighting a big, brutal woman from Gravity Ops, a woman who's had her myostatin genes knocked out so she can swell up into a giant plug of brawn. Uldwyn doesn't have a chance. He took the fight for the same reason he wanted to join the Amrita expedition—he measures himself by the bravery of his losses. By what he can survive losing. (Brephos II)

This is not a recipe for a stable young man. My uncle once told my mom “what a man wants most is for his father to tell him that he is proud of him.” You can argue that point if you want, but it is hard to deny the intensity of father-son relationships or the way in which they affect men as they grow from boyhood.

Uldwyn, and as such Uldren, had no such relationship. He didn’t even have a vague hint of it from what we can tell. Osana’s apathetic form of motherhood left him with Mara, who played a dual role of sister and mother- and filled in for some of the father relationship, badly. It’s too much pressure on Mara, I think, and it was really only a matter of time that their relationship became the ugly thing it did. Even if there had never been the cosmic powers and great wars, it would have gone wrong.

Whether this mess is just a function of their screwed up family or coming at least in part from the hyper-matriarchy of the Yang Liwei/Distributary isn’t clear to me. It was, at any rate, never going to be alleviated because of the Sov twins’ contrary independence and, later, the way Mara bound Uldwyn/Uldren to her when he struggled to become Awoken.

I imagine this made it all worse for Uldwyn by this...not really friendly to men environment in the Distributary:

...that the women should hold care and protection of the men and the others until more could be born. (Ecstasiate III)

It seems, based on this and the fact every single Distributary character we get a name for is female, that men were not allowed to hold any authority. How far this second-class citizen status extended is your guess. Interestingly, while men don’t seem to be inclined to hold authority in the Reef, it doesn’t seem they are blocked from it (Uldren is a prince, a title that isn’t mentioned in the Distributary, and holds authority as spymaster, while we have male cryptarchs, which are probably equivalent to Distributary eutechs, predecessors for the all-female techeuns) while they explicitly are in the Distributary. Could this have been a major appeal for them following Mara? Which would have posed a problem to those who didn’t want to leave, maybe not out necessity but at least culturally if men were...commodified to some degree.

So Uldren was living as a second-class citizen. He seems not to care overmuch when we do see him, being an independent sort who’d rather be in the wilderness (Hunter gonna Hunter), but we know he wants respect. He revels in praise. Mara’s in particular, but anyone’s will do. In the Distributary’s system, he wouldn’t get a lot, or if he did, it would be of the ‘dog walking on its hind legs’ sort. None of this helps his issues. No one has taken the time to teach Uldren the hard lessons, either, such as Saladin’s bitter lesson about mercy. He’s just sort of left to flail.

The rest is nearer history. Mara’s great destiny unfolded before her and he tried to tag along, win her attention and praise in increasingly insane ways, while she went her own way and grew colder. The Black Garden drives people insane and it exacerbated all of Uldren’s already existing issues. Things go wrong.

Then he becomes Crow. Crow, unlike Uldwyn/Uldren, is tossed a succession of potential father figures. First, we have the bad ones: Spider- he is getting off too easy for what he did- and then “Osiris”. “Osiris” behaves in a motherly fashion to him, and it’s what sold me on the rumor that this was actually Savathun.

It’s interesting to me that the mother figure Crow gets is a toxic one, but in a way opposite uninvolved Osana. Savathun finds herself caring about him, maybe a little out of the fact that she can’t actually love any of her real children (I wrote a one-shot about this whole dynamic). But she is a broken creature and a monster as well, and so her care for Crow is twisted, like every other mother figure in Uldwyn/Uldren’s life.

At any rate, enter Zavala and Saladin, positive father figures for Crow. Zavala, well, we all know how paternal he is. Saladin is harder and it’s a hardness Uldwyn/Uldren/Crow needed in his life. He tells Crow that it is not wise, or useful, to measure oneself by the bravery of one’s losses. He tells him mercy is a complicated beast. He demands self-discipline. He grants him authority and praises, soberly, his accomplishments for their practicality and contribution to the goal. After a long road of his own, he ends up sacrificing himself for Crow (yeah, maybe not much of a sacrifice it turns out, but it didn’t seem that way at the time).

No one, in Uldwyn/Uldren/Crow’s life, has put themselves between him and pain or danger before that point. It’s what a father should do, but no one has done it for him ever before.

So a lot of our boy’s life is influenced by the lack of father figures, and it is a major part of his current relationships and development. Would a lot of the trips we have seen with his story gone better if this theme had been kept in mind? Yes, but it is there, if unintentionally; it takes some doing to seize a story entirely for yourself, they are their own things, and better when you give them just the right amount of rein. The saga of Uldwyn/Uldren and the influence the lack of father figures had on him, and how that plays out for Crow, is an interesting story to tell and one that is well worth telling in this world of ours, frankly.

Sanguine: Vampirism

Creator's Note: This is a more in-depth look at the way that vampirism works in Sanguine! Things are obviously subject to change, but this is the most finalized version of this document that I have written thus far.

Trigger warning: Blood, medical topics, brief descriptions of body horror

The Sanguis Endogenous Retrovirus

The Sanguis Endogenous Retrovirus, colloquially known as Vampirism, is a group of chronic disorders contracted through a previously unknown form of endogenous retrovirus found in the saliva of infected individuals. Upon infection, copies of the virus’ genetic material are inserted into the host’s genome, causing mutation of DNA. The mutation of the host’s DNA causes physical symptoms such as the heightened production of draculin, anemia, photophobia, and other bodily disorders.

Progression

Stage 1: Infection

Instances of the endogenous retrovirus responsible for both contraction and mutation of the body are present within saliva of infected persons, accompanied by draculin, a glycoprotein and anticoagulant found within the salivary glands of vampire bats (Desmodontinae). Once introduced into the bloodstream of a host, the virus rapidly spreads throughout the body, attacking cells and inserting its own genetic material into the host’s genome. Initial symptoms are often attributed to the effects of the draculin protein, though other traits consistent with sickle-cell anemia will begin to emerge due to the lack of healthy blood cells.

Stage 2: Mutation

Within a week physical symptoms of cellular mutation will begin. The first and most common mutation to occur is that of the stomach, kidneys, and bladder, which become unable to digest any form of plant material and forces hosts to take on the diet of an obligate carnivore. As the disease progresses, this will further develop into hematophagy, rendering the host only able to digest raw meat and blood. The kidneys undergo mutation to bear the increase in protein and iron consumption. Nearby, the adrenal glands enlarge to allow for an increase in adrenaline production and mutation of sexual organs begin. Hosts develop infertility as a result of physical stress and mutation of the ovaries or testicles. Menstruation also ceases. Two weeks after infection, myostatin production will begin to slow marginally, causing an increase in muscle mass as the disease progresses.

Stage 2a: Dental Abnormalities Progressively, dental lamina cells are created from altered DNA, creating a new set of teeth and, when fully developed, triggers the production of odontoblast cells. These cells eat away at the roots of the teeth and cause them to fall out, at which point they are replaced by the new set of adult teeth. The new set has several notable mutations; the upper incisors do not possess any enamel, and both sets of incisors are sharp, consistent with that of other carnivores, who naturally evolved this trait to cut into the flesh of their prey. Creation of dental lamina will continue, allowing for teeth to be replicated if lost.

Stage 2b: Photosensitivity At 4 weeks, the host begins to develop various forms of sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, mainly in the retina and skin. The retinas, which are typically only able to see ultraviolet light up to a wavelength of 300 nanometers (nm), are mutated and grow capable of seeing up to 310 nm. This increase causes photophobia and migraines. The skin begins to display some traits similar to conditions such as xeroderma pigmentosum, causing blisters to the epidermis when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Exposure of sunlight to the skin is extremely damaging, rendering it near impossible to go outdoors during the daytime.

Stage 2c: Immune System Abnormalities Blood-related symptoms worsen around the eight week mark, causing further fatigue, dizzy spells, weakness, paling of the skin, coughing up blood, and nosebleeds. This is also the time during which production of the virus as well as its physical mutations begin to plateau. At the same time, the rate of infections and contraction of other viruses drastically lowers, as any foreign bodies are attacked and neutralized by the existing instances of the endogenous retrovirus. This also gives the host a relatively stable immune system and increased protection against other forms of bloodborne viruses.

Stage 3: Psychological Effects

Along with the physical changes the virus physical brings, studies have also found psychological changes throughout the nervous system. The amygdala experiences hormone spikes, causing symptoms of anxiety, depression, paranoia, and psychosis, which occasionally causes delusions and hallucinations. Furthermore, hosts develop altered sleeping habits, known to sleep up to 75% of the day, though it is unknown if this is due to changes in the brain or the body’s need to compensate for the symptoms of the virus.

Roots

Further observations of hosts seem to indicate that the virus alters the body in line with that of nocturnal carnivorous predators, replicating the biological functions that allow for such species to thrive in the wild. It is theorized that, on some level, this virus is a product of divergent evolution in the early hominids, who would have benefitted from these mutations in their environment. It seems to have persisted for thousands of years, with instances of so-called ‘vampires’ have been recorded throughout history through folklore, popular culture, and even criminal cases. A cure has not been found, and while minor symptoms can be alleviated through medication or naturalistic approaches, the disease is currently considered to be chronic in nature.

Item: # [REDACTED]

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures:

This Item has been deemed a Class V extreme biological hazard. All isolated instances of SCP-[REDACTED] are to be kept in hermetically sealed, BSL-4 cryoprotective freezer located in site-234.

In the event that an individual comes into to contact with any form of SCP-[REDACTED] they are to be kept in quarantine for one day.

If the individual begins to show symptoms they are to be terminated immediately with the body and everything around it incinerated. If they do not show symptoms in that time they are to be screened for any signs of SCP-[REDACTED] in the blood stream, if found they are to be contained with SCP-[REDACTED]- 1 to 8. (1)

Description:

SCP-[REDACTED] is a rabidly evolving virus of extra-dimensional origan. It's genome is contently shifting to the point of being unrecognizable in a matter of weeks.

SCP-[REDACTED]'s method of infection changes daily but still has some unchanging proprieties.

95.5% infection rate

100% lethality

Symptoms of SCP-[REDACTED] can show from a day to under 4 minutes and include:

-Flu-like symptoms including high fever and insomnia.

-Discolouration of the eyes and skin.

-Visual and audio hallucinations.

-Suicidal aggression.

Some individuals have more aggressive and specialized mutations.

There are eight known different kinds of 'special infected' (2). They are as follows:

Tank: This mutation makes abnormal muscular growth that is most obvious in the arms and upper body. Due to this, it is reportedly strong enough to punch cars around. This mutation is theorized to happen when SCP- [REDACTED] suppresses Myostatin in the subjects body.

Hunter: This mutation forces the body to create sharpened, claw like fingers and increases the host's muscle mass slightly. It is capable of jumping five stories high despite it's otherwise unmutated form.

Witch: This mutation creates sharpened elongated fingers. Unlike the all other forms of infected it is passive until provoked. Upon which it will hunt down the one who startled it until it's death.

Boomer: This mutation forces the body to produce immense quantities of bile which the infected tries to [DATA EXPUNGED]. If successful, this leads to a large number of infected swarming to that location.

Smoker: This mutation is characterized by his extremely long tongue and causing the host to generate smoke like gas. The Smoker's tongue can be launched out of it's mouth at high speeds and wrap around a target. it then drags the target back towards the Smoker, where it begins claws or chokes the target to death.

Spitter: This mutation generates and spit corrosive balls of [DATA EXPUNGED] that can burn non-infected individuals. Due to the corrosiveness of the projectiles this has caused the host's lower jaw, cheeks, nose and lips to [DATA EXPUNGED].(4)

Jockey: This mutation forces the host to develop a large amount of muscle mass on it's upper back and neck, fingers and toes have increased in length It uses to jump onto a target, grab them then ride them around using their weight and panic to 'steer' the target into danger. it can always be heard as it cackles all of the time.

Charger: This mutation is similar to the Tank's mutations in terms of increased muscle mass, though noticeably asymmetrical. Instead of throwing things around it charges at targets and upon grabbing them, slams them against any solid surface until the death of the target .

Addendum:

1: This event has yet to happen and it has been theorized that the carrier gene found in SCP-[REDACTED] 1-8 does not exist in our reality.

2: All names and descriptions are testimonies from SCP-[REDACTED] 1-8 with the exception of the Spitter's description.

3: Researcher ██████ ████ became a 'Spitter' upon exposure to SCP-[REDACTED]-3. See incident log: Incident Report: L4-d

4: Doctor Bright is not allowed to dress up as a 'hunter' ANY 'special infected' to scare SCP-[REDACTED] 1-8. You deserved what you got each time!

Nagi are you to do this?

Well I suppose I should explain about the Hope Cultivation Plan or the Izuru Kamukura Project and the effects it had on Hajime;

Now to start off with, while Junko did mention a few things about it; Hope's Peak was in reality a cover-up to to research talent, to gather as much as possible and create what is assume to be the 'perfect genius' .

They even turn to use the Reserve Course as lab rats as they were blank slates to them and go after those that admire Hope's Peak Academy and they wouldn't even question anything.

Yeah we know that much and stuff but why bring it up again?

Well it's mostly a refresher but to what that project did had some... side effects if you will, side effects that the Steering Committee didn't consider.

NAGI: With the project they tamper with his brain, it remove any and all things that is related to 'Hajime Hinata'; from personality, identity, past, family, memories... anything, it was all remove and to be replace with talent it's as if you were reborn but of course given they had fail experiments before, they done a method...

NAGI: To make sure that you didn't die, they had to shut down your whole body and hook you up to needles, machines and various other devices to keep your body alive while your brain was being work on.

NAGI: And to make sure you were able to use your talents, they had to re-work your brain they also had to make 'alterations' to your body and if you will which you have notice some... changes.

For example, what changes have you notice with your body ever since you woke up?

We-Well... I notice that I seem more muscular when I look in the mirror and even sweating more. So what gives?

Wait, let me see... *looks over and notice his chest size and checks his forehead*

Dude, I didn't notice but your chest size got bigger and a fever! What the fuck did they do?!

So does that mean your stronger,faster, harder and better too?!

They did a lot of shit to his body, what type of alternations did they do to him?

Well from what I was told from Future Foundation; the reason why his body is much bulkier and has a high temperature is because they inhibited his body's ability to produce myostatin.

It's protein that naturally limits muscle growth, so he'd get much stronger and much faster. The warmth is due to alterations that were made to his body's thermoreceptors, so they would keep his body set at a higher temperature than normal which why he feels normal despite having the heat of a fever.

This is because heat actually seems to make nerve signals move a bit faster; a small detail to befit his thinking skills as Izuru.

I... did remember being place in extremely cold room with no windows, it almost as if I was place in a meat locker. Is that why?

As say, Hope's Peak didn't consider that side effect and it's why the subjects had died because of that.

Sooo if you want a better comparison; think of Izuru being like the Chimera from Resistance: Fall of Man if you will.

...So what your saying is that I'm like those aliens that was trying to create an ice age?

Exactly and hey, I could suggest we could add those cooling units they had on to help with your temperature.

But don't worry, will find a way to cool you off and work on that.

Or maybe he can wear swim trunks? I bet he wouldn't look half bad!

And seems these 2 girls are being weird...

> Liam's story – part 1 < Dr_Dale: Hi LiamMuscle! I saw your forum post about wanting more muscles and looking for shortcuts. I think I can help. I’d love to see a guy like you grow. ;) What I'm offering is far from anything you've tried before. I'm talking about genetic modification - CRISPR. Interested? LiamMuscle: Genetic modification? Sounds like sci-fi. Tell me more. Dr_Dale: In short, we can edit your DNA to modify certain genes that control your muscle growth. Specifically, this involves two things: Myostatin and Follistatin. LiamMuscle: What are those? What do they do? Dr_Dale: Myostatin is a protein that naturally limits your muscle growth. Too much of it, and your body stops itself from building more muscle mass. Follistatin, on the other hand, promotes muscle growth. It neutralizes the effects of Myostatin. LiamMuscle: And you can craft with it? Dr_Dale: Yes, through a special CRISPR treatment. I work with nanoparticles that we use as a delivery system for the CRISPR tool. These nanoparticles are incorporated into pills that you simply swallow. LiamMuscle: Sounds too simple. Just pills? Dr_Dale: Exactly. The nanoparticles are programmed to pass through the liver and go straight to your muscle cells without being broken down by your body. Once there, they start working: turning off the Myostatin gene and boosting Follistatin production. LiamMuscle: What does that mean for me? More muscles, non-stop? Dr_Dale: Theoretically, yes. Your muscles wouldn't be limited by Myostatin anymore. With increased Follistatin production, you could see significant gains, far beyond what's naturally possible. LiamMuscle: Sounds great. Send me the pills. Dr_Dale: Like any procedure of this kind, there are risks. LiamMuscle: Don't care. Don't bore me with that. Make me your guinea pig. Dr_Dale: Someone's quickly convinced. ;) I like it! You're really ready to do anything for more muscles, aren't you? LiamMuscle: When it comes to muscles, there's no such thing as too much. Bigger is always better!
