Johny, you have some misunderstandings in regards to molecular biology.

1. There are about 100 reasons why restriction enzymes will not work. The biggest one in regards to your theory is that restriction enzymes are not gene specific.

damn it. Dont make me crack my books and blow dust everywhere. Its been 2 years since my genetics and micro courses. Damn, i got my head all messed up now. If i remember correctly, restriction enzymes are a degrative enzyme that recognizes and cuts up dna. What you go t me fuzzy on now was how it recognizes that dna. If it can rcognize specific dna fragments, why wouldnt that work. Now if they recognize specific base pairings, i see where you are coming from. I know restriction enzymes can recognize foreign dna (possibly from a virus) and destroy them. Give me a refresher if you dont mind.

Shit man, you are gonna make me break out my genetics books and go over this.
 
ah, i see now for what i suggested to work, the entire allelle that contains the dna must be inserted into reproducing cells via a virus. But the problem arises because of what other possible genes are coded for on that allele, correct?
 
Only talking about the reason I gave for it not working, most restriction enyzmyes recognize 4-6 base pair sequences of dna. Therefore, any such restriction site in the genomic dna would be cleaved (not just myostatin). We're not even talking about the other million problems.

Honestly, I think gene therapy is possible, not through the methods you suggest but rather through RNAi or the like.

Right now the "best" way if someone were to try to inhibit myostatin function would be to use neutralizing antibodies. Based on mouse models, if I remember correctly this would equate to a ridiculous dose of like 5g/d.

ok. so the restriction enzymes would indiscriminatly chop up all dna that contains said restriction sites. That would be a genetic disaster, although a quite effecive bio weapon :)
and as far as blocking all those enzymes produces, you would probably have to drink a gallon of that shit a day to get the effect. So something tells me they found a way to deactivate the myostatin gene directly.
 
you guys would be nuts to rewrite your DNA before the long term implications have been studied. ever considered that some muscles would change that you wouldnt want to change? face? jaw?

using an inhibitor, or some sort of competitive antagonist or something, sure, i can see that. its reversible, probably safer, much neater (apart from the dosing) and the way to go

no way in hell i would rewrite my genetic code, fuck that.
 
Well, as the article suggests, researchers don't know if Myostatin is to blame for muscle loss, or if it is responsible for muscle regeneration. As the author was saying, it was found in high concentrations in dead cardiac muscle cells -- which means one of two things: either myostatin was released in that localized area to try to regenerate the damaged or dying muscle, or the muscle died in the presence of myostatin.

Additionally, the point was raised that two things have to happen to make the connection of myostatin inhibition and muscle hypertrophy: a) that the administration of myostatin does, in fact, cause loss of muscle mass, and b) that the suppression of myostatin does, in practice, cause an increase in muscle mass without adversely affecting other non-skeletal muscles.
 
just let everyone know, those mice were genetically altered before they were even born. not after. changing your genes isn't hard, all it takes is a mutagen like cigarette smoke to do it. but i've yet to hear of a beneficial mutagen.
 
Resurrecting A 5 Year Old Thread. lol.

so what's the news with this??? any advancements???

I remember reading 4 years ago many scientists speculated the winner of the 2008 Beijing Olympics would be gene doping. Well, it's 2008, so what's the deal??
 
Organic Slimming Meizitang Delicate Gel: One Of the best Kept Secret in Losing weight

The topic of discussion may appear a bit improbable but I took my time for it to observe this losing weight method. Losing weight has become the major concern of all overweight people; I'm sure how it feels if you feel that built up chunk of body fat around your a waist and how clumsy you are feeling when performing tasking activities. I know eventually you keep performing a Google look high on how to slim down, burn belly excess fat etc. There is a great deal of information out there on removing extra weight; some are useful to an extent I must confess.

Today I may discuss with that you a proven way to burn fat. I have this friend within the Bank where My partner and i work and your lady weighed 110 kilogram, she had some fractured leg together with uses crutches then i could not advice her to undertake exercises so that they can lose weight as that was not possible. We called up another friend who offers this burn excess weight Meizitang Botanical Slimming capsules and the order was set. My friend really desired to lose weight as well as I was desperate that can help. We got the fat reduction capsules; it was 60 capsules in the pack. The recommended dosage is 2 capsules every day.

The next day she arrived at me and informed me she did not feel like eating, she just drank water. It appeared like the capsules had taken over her system. Before I continue while using the story, I researched this losing weight product and it's 100% herbal without having any side effects. This is the Chinese weight decrease drug actually. She continued while using the pills and in the beginning there was certainly no reasonable change with the first 2 weeks, I advised her to get scale up the third week. She came to be effective smiling the next day; I asked your ex why she ended up being smiling and your lady screamed "I am so glad I am losing weight. " She previously had dropped to 96 kilogram in 3 many days losing 15 kilogram in the operation. This story isn't just to sell people into anything; it's just some sort of life testimonial associated with a weight loss system my friend used. She got your girlfriend second pack regarding 60 capsules yesterday is living it all the way up.

I strongly recommend this fat loss product for anyone ready to burn fat to the reasonable extent. This really works and I am content with testify to the wonder works of this losing weight pill.
