Understand the role of insulin in bodybuilding: its mode of admi, istration, the different types of products and their properties for the sportsman.
INSULIN refill
Insulin is a protein secreted by the pancreas that acts on the liver to stimulate the formation of glycogen from glucose and to inhibit the conversion of non-carbohydrates to glucose.
Insulin also promotes the diffusion of glucose by cells via insulin receptors. Very high concentrations of insulin result in protein synthesis by the highly stimulated muscle. It does this mainly by improving the initiation of the peptide chain.
These results make it more interesting for bodybuilders and athletes. This is because these factors combine to make ingested proteins …show more content…
It also increases bone density. Another mechanism that increases the anabolic effect of insulin is that insulin increases your insulin -like growth factor (IGF ) in your body. No need to remind you that IGF-1 is a very anabolic hormone.
Another unexpected aspect of insulin is its ability to increase the level of LH (Leutenizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone). Which means that insulin stimulates the secretion of gonadotropin, it has an anabolic effect by increasing your HPTA (hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular-Axis) capacity which results in an increase in your testosterone production.
Insulin also increases the binding capacity of anabolic steroids to androgen receptors, strongly suggesting the possibility of a synergistic effect of insulin when combined with steroids. Most bodybuilders confirm that insulin has some anabolic synergy when combined with growth hormone. insulin injection
The relationship between insulin, IGF and HGH is very synergistic and all interdependent on each other's actions. Using all three together, plus anabolic steroids and a fat burner will give the most powerful and strong muscle …show more content…
This insulin mix is called Mixtard (Novo Nordisk)
Mixtard is a mixture of fast-acting insulin and long-acting insulin. This means that it starts to lower your blood sugar level about half an hour after administration and that the effect lasts about 24 hours.
ADMINISTRATION OF INSULIN
Subcutaneously
area-injection insulin
Insulin is usually administered subcutaneously to the abdominal wall. Injections can also be performed in the thigh, in the gluteal region or in the deltoid region.
Subcutaneous injection into the abdominal wall provides faster absorption than at other injection sites.
Injection into a skin fold reduces the risk of accidental intramuscular injection.
After injection, the needle should remain under the skin for at least 6 seconds to ensure the injection of the entire dose.
The injection zone is determined by the type of insulin to be injected. ... SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE OF INSULIN
Do not freeze.
Keep the container in the outer carton to protect from light.
In use: do not refrigerate.
