Myostatin
An inhibitor of muscle growth; sulforaphane was shown to inhibit myostatin in muscle satellite cells in a cell culture study.

Stronger By Science
A protein that regulates muscle growth; genetic mutations or inhibition of myostatin lead to increased muscle mass (e.g., in myostatin mutants like Belgian Blue cattle and bully whippets).

Stronger By Science
An inhibitor of muscle hypertrophy whose gene expression showed larger reductions in the identical twin receiving phototherapy, indicating a more favorable environment for muscle growth.

Tim Ferriss
A gene that inhibits muscle growth. Suppressing or blocking myostatin can lead to increased muscle mass, an area of interest for both natural genetic enhancement and potential CRISPR applications in athletes.
