Study Overview
During the muscle differentiation process, undifferentiated myoblasts fuse and differentiate into multinucleated myotube cells. Muscle fibers with contractile capacity are then formed from mature myotube cells, completing the muscle. Furthermore, since muscle mass decreases with age, maintaining muscle mass is also important from an anti-aging perspective.
This study will evaluate the muscle mass increase and maintenance effects of the test substance.
