microcurrent stimulation upregulates CK-MM, a marker of muscle cell maturation
MENS upregulated CK-MM (MM isoenzyme of creatine kinase), a marker of myogenic differentiation, in C2C12 myotubes 6 hours after stimulation.
What this means for you
CK-MM is a protein your muscle cells ramp up as they grow and mature. When microcurrent nudges this marker higher, it suggests the cells are responding as if they're being pushed to develop — which could support faster muscle recovery and adaptation after physical stress or injury.
The published research
MENS-associated increase of muscular protein content via modulation of caveolin-3 and TRIM72.
