Take-home message: - Peptides and assorted experimental drugs, like TB-500 and MK-677, are being recommended by fitness influencers to grow bigger muscles, lose fat, and recover from injuries faster - These drugs, many of which are claimed to boost levels of growth hormone, were studied in rodents and very small groups of human volunteers before being abandoned for not being beneficial or for causing unacceptable side effects - They are banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency and appear to be illegal in Canada and the United States, but can be purchased online
Three Chamber-Test The three-chamber test is widely used to assess social behavior in rodents, allowing the investigation of two main aspects: sociability (the tendency to interact with a conspecific compared to an inanimate stimulus) and preference for social novelty (the ability to discriminate and prefer a novel individual over a familiar one)
Thus, under medical supervision, people who adjust their peptide dosage to their fitness goals are more likely to attain them safely and effectively
