Gut microbe-derived metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide accelerates fibroblast-myofibroblast differentiation and induces cardiac fibrosis
Several studies have found that IGF-1 can improve blood sugar control
Mechanistically, GLP1RAs improve cardiac function by enhancing contractility and reducing myocardial injury 14,15,16 , exert vasodilatory and endothelial-protective effects, and display anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic actions that may limit adverse remodeling in heart failure (HF) 17
Muscle tissue burns more calories at rest, so losing muscle slows metabolism
Quantitative studies further indicate that individuals with MD who use anabolic steroids exhibit more severe body-image disturbances, more extreme exercise and dietary behaviours, and higher levels of psychopathology compared with non-using counterparts (87)
