Nieuwe review paper gepubliceerd in Frontiers in Endocrinology

Eerder dit jaar, ergens in april, begon ik te werken aan deze paper die uiteindelijk 20 pagina’s lang zou worden. Ik had het idee dat het een tijdige toevoeging aan de literatuur zou zijn nu alle data van de HAARLEM-studie waren gepubliceerd; al was het alleen al omdat er geen recente reviews waren van goede kwaliteit over androgen abuse en de bijwerkingen ervan.

Research pick: “Effects of testosterone supplementation on body composition and lower-body muscle function during severe exercise- and diet-induced energy deficit”

Effects of testosterone supplementation on body composition and lower-body muscle function during severe exercise- and diet-induced energy deficit: A proof-of-concept, single centre, randomised, double-blind, controlled trial

Schoenfeld et al. have published a meta-analysis earlier in which they showed there was a dose-response relationship between training volume and increases in muscle

Beta2-agonist terbutaline to increase muscle mass

For this research pick I’ll go over a recent trial which investigated the effect of terbutaline on body composition in healthy men. Beta2-agonists like clenbuterol and terbutaline have long been thought to increase muscle mass. A wealth of animal research clearly shows this, however most trials in humans fail to demonstrate this. The obvious reason
