Recently, a research study demonstrated that dietary protein
influences myostatin production and therefore it also influences the size and the growth rate of your muscles.

If
myostatin does act systemically, the implication would be that local control of muscle growth can be
influenced at least in part by
myostatin being produced elsewhere in the body and that
myostatin functions precisely as a chalone, as originally hypothesized by Bullough [25], [26] for the control for tissue growth in general.
This finding taken together with the results of cross fostering experiments suggest that muscle mass can be
influenced by prenatal transfer of some mediator from mother to fetus; although
myostatin itself is the most obvious candidate for this mediator, additional experiments will be required to prove this definitively.
Some people simply have a much harder or easier time building muscle than others, and this is
influenced by different factors such as muscle fiber distribution, testosterone levels, growth hormone levels, bone structure, insulin sensitivity,
myostatin levels and individual recovery ability.
