Rats fed homobrassinolide, found in the mustard plant, produced an anabolic effect, and increased appetite and muscle mass, as well as the number and size of muscle fibers, according to a new research in The FASEB Journal.

A specific plant steroid when given orally to rats triggered a response similar to anabolic steroids, with minimal side effects, according to the research.

It was also revealed that the stimulatory effect of homobrassinolide on protein synthesis in muscle cells led to increases in lean body mass, muscle mass, and physical performance.

According to a finding presented by exercise physiologist Chang Woock Lee and his colleagues at Texas A&M University at the Experimental Biology meeting in New Orleans, some female athletes could pay a big price of taking oral contraception by not deriving best results from resistance exercise.

Birth control pills were identified as a major suspect as to why some women are not able to garner the same advantages as other women from exercises like weight lifting or working against tension bands.

The physiologist said women taking oral contraceptives containing medium or highly androgenic progestins were able to attain less than a 0.5 percent gain in muscle mass over a period of 10 weeks.
