    Vitamin D3 anabolic, calcitriol catabolic for muscle/thymus

    Several great studies, which will probably do little to calm down the controversy that seems to be brewing lately in the blogosphere over whether supplementing with vitamin D3 is beneficial or not.

    Vitamin D is anti-catabolic / anabolic, protects liver from cortisol injury

    In a recent post of mine I discussed the effects of cortisol on various aminotransferases (especially TAT), their role as biomarkers of catabolism, and how inhibitors of said aminotransferases have a potent anti-catabolic / anabolic effects. In that same post, I also described how cortisol (a...

    Glycine is anticatabolic

    The study was done in a cancer model, but it should apply to any situation characterised by a catabolic muscle state - i.e. overtraining, starvaton, shock, estrogen-dominance, etc. In addition, in this study glycine also inhibited tumor growth while citirulline (which is a metabolite of...
