How fatty acids travel from fat cells to muscle mitochondria: lipolysis, CD36, CPT1 and beta oxidation, the crossover and FATmax, how fat oxidation is measured, and what peptide studies show.
Satellite Cells: The Muscle Stem Cells Behind Repair, Growth and Muscle Memory
What satellite cells are, how Pax7, Notch and MyoD steer them from quiescence to fusion, the evidence on regeneration, hypertrophy and muscle memory, and how they change with age.
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS): Why Muscles Get Sore After Exercise
Why delayed onset muscle soreness peaks a day or two after unaccustomed eccentric exercise, why lactic acid is not to blame, and what rat and human studies show about the pain.
