The Claim

MF-300 at 10 mg/kg administered orally for 12 weeks increases the contraction rate of the extensor digitorum longus muscle by 8.7% in aged mice, demonstrating a selective effect on fast-twitch fiber function that is independent of changes in muscle mass.

Cause and effect
1 study reviewed
In plain English

In aged mice, a 12-week treatment with MF-300 at 10 mg/kg increases the contraction rate of the extensor digitorum longus muscle by 8.7% without changing muscle mass, indicating a specific effect on fast-twitch muscle fibers.

See the scientific wording

MF-300 at 10 mg/kg significantly improves the contraction rate of the extensor digitorum longus (a fast-twitch muscle) by 8.7% in aged mice after 12 weeks of treatment, indicating a selective effect on fast-twitch fiber function independent of muscle mass.

Why this might work

A molecule that blocks the breakdown of a signaling chemical called PGE2 allows more of it to build up in old muscle. This chemical directly improves how quickly and strongly the fast-twitch muscle fibers can contract by making their internal machinery work more efficiently, without changing the size of the muscle.

    In old mice, a pill called MF-300 made their fast-twitch muscles contract faster—without making the muscles bigger—just like the claim says.
