Some late studies have determined certain positive effects of mustard. Anyone knows that it is an excellent remedy that adds pleasant flavor to food. Furthermore, it has been determined that mustard can help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A research connected with mustard has been conducted by Debora Esposito and his colleagues at North Carolina University in Kannapolis (USA). It has been claimed under results of the research that a compound which is called “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs is able to increase lean muscle size and energy in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide is a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid which has been found in plants that are included in Brassica family. It has been known that it has capacity to promote growing plants. But nobody has been aware about its function in mammals. The specialists have defined that homobrassinolide is able to cause anabolic effects in mammals. It promotes increasing synthesis of protein, stimulates appetite and increases muscle size through enhancement of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been involved in the research. They have been given oral homobrassinolide during 24 days. Dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry analysis has been used in order to monitor changes in weight, food consumption and composition of rats’ bodies. It has been noted that animals who have been given homobrassinolide have obtained essentially more muscle mass than those that have not been given this compound.
Enhancement of muscle mass indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. Enhanced BMR is associated with great caloric burning which helps to remain lean.
So, the research has clearly shown that homobrassinolide increases protein synthesis, enhances size and number of muscle fibers that play an important role for increase of endurance.
Specialists suggest that such plants, as mustard, can be applied for more increased brassinosteroid content. It can help to have lean muscle mass, enhance it and prevent certain health problems.
It is supposed that future supplement and medicine industry will introduce preparations which will be useful in case of certain illnesses linked with muscle wasting. Such products can be applied as alternative preparations to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably have minimal or no adverse results.
Leaves of mustard are low-calorie. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard have anti-inflammatory features. Furthermore, they represent an excellent source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard may be applied for preparing salads, curds and tempering. It would be useful to take at least one teaspoon of mustard with water or meal in order to get some positive effects.
