Talk:Myostatin

message: *On the tv-series The Incredible Hulk episode "Death in the Family" (Season 1, ep 2),  the protagonist meets an heiress  who is being given intravenous injections of a drug called 'Myostatin'.  Ultimately, a plot is revealed-- the drug it is revealed that the drug is not ACTUALLY myostatin, but is a poison intended to kill the woman.
*:Obviously, this episode aired some 20 years before the discovery of the actual Myostatin. 
*:Worth mentioning in the article?  I doubt it, but.. it is interesting.

thread_title:  Why is this still locked? 

message: I have a great article about it in russian medical journal - the photo i take from it (http://trener-on-line.ru/index.php?Itemid=34&id=21&option=com_content&task=view). We must point in article where this discovery will be used - by the medical journal - it will be used in the conditions accompanied by risk of loss muscular weight, such, as:
 The long periods of absence of normal physical activity (a long confinement to bed, stay in weightlessness),
 The traumas leading long immobilization of groups of muscles,
 Oncological diseases,
 A number of complications of chemotherapy,
 A sepsis, some sharp and chronic infections, including AIDS,
 Senile sarcopenia (loss of muscular weight), beginning actually after 40 years.

thread_title: Dead link

message: I revised this article.  There was a lot of misinformation and uncited material.  Also there was a paragraph which read as though it was written by a non-English speaker who has only recently started to grapple with the intricacies of the language.  Finally there was an amazing amount of detail of myostatin in fish, which is hardly of general interest.  All of this material was removed.

thread_title: Significant Revision

message: In some older versions of the article, there was mention about the fact that no true myostating blocker has ever been developed, and pretty much pointing out that all of these myostating blockers one sees announced in sports and bodybuilding websites are fake.  I don't see the reference anymore.  Does anyone know when or why it has been removed?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdsouza (talk • contribs) 21:42, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Stop removing the picture of a human with myostatin deficiency. The individual in question has gone through a few genetic tests to prove such deficiency exists in his/her body yet I'm being asked to provide evidence? Is this not a breach of medical confidentiality? Idodabs2 (talk) 11:16, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Then please supply documentation for genetic tests supporting myostatin deficiency. Concerning :File:Humanmyostatin.jpg, using a medical photograph of a person without their permission is unethical.  In addition, there are many alternative explanations including steroid use and/or weight training that could explain the appearance of this individual. The photograph appears more consistent with anabolic steroid use or weight training than a myostatin deficiency.  Boghog (talk) 18:58, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Listen bog. I've never touched a steroid in my life. Oh, did I mention, that person in the picture is me? Why on God's green earth would I provide you with my personal and individually identifying medical documents, just to appease you and let you allow me to post a picture. Get real. Do you want me to pee in a cup for anabolics too? Idodabs2 (talk) 09:53, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
