Function:
Follistatin works by binding to and inhibiting transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) peptides such as myostatin which is responsible for regulating and limiting muscle growth. It\'s also worth
pointing out that myostatin may have a regulatory role in skeletal muscle fibrosis; too much myostatin can impair tissue function and cause chronic disease in vital organs, tissues, and bone
marrow.
In additional to suppressing the degenerative properties of myostatin, follistatin also suppresses the pituitary gland synthesis and secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). High FSH levels
in men may indicate that testicles are not functioning correctly; this condition limits muscle growth, recovery, and normal hormonal function. [6] However, FSH levels that are too low can also
negatively impact health and reproductive capabilities.
Whereas some myostatin inhibitors like Trichostatin A (TSA) require daily administration, increased levels of FS344 were observed up to 15 months after initial injection. The lack of need for daily
administration makes follistatin an attractive alternative for suppressing myostatin.t it promotes faster recovery from muscle injuries and improvement of mental well-being.
