Episode 9 Hypertrophy Part 3

Bodyholic with Di

In previous episodes, we have discussed the complex anatomy of the muscle. We also discussed Satellite cells and how they are actually a great contributor to muscle hypertrophy and we mentioned the three primary types of hypertrophy defined in the literature are myofibrillar, sarcoplasmic, and connective tissue hypertrophy. Today we will discuss connective tissue hypertrophy.
