Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common form of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. It occurs more frequently in men than in women, and is most common between the ages of 20 and 60 years. About one in three cases of congestive heart failure (CHF) is due to dilated cardiomyopathy.
Testosterone directly effects muscle growth by binding to receptors on the surface of muscle cells and amplifying the biochemical signals in muscle tissue that result in protein synthesis. Testosterone also increases levels of another growth factor, called growth hormone, that the body releases in response to exercise. Like testosterone, growth hormone increases protein synthesis and can result in increased muscle growth.
Itâs a fact, most people at the gym donât focus on leg exercises enough, which is a big mistake as the thighs and hamstrings have the potential to be the most powerful muscles in the body. An effective thigh, hamstring and glute exercise actually increases testosterone levels, which help the rest of your body grow.
