microcurrent at low intensity triggers muscle-rebuilding signals without causing muscle contraction
MENS at sub-motor-threshold intensities (10 µA) did not induce visible muscle contraction, yet still produced significant intracellular signaling responses (Akt and p70S6K phosphorylation) and facilitated muscle regrowth.
What this means for you
Your muscles have internal repair signals that can be activated without any visible movement or effort. This kind of cellular response is linked to the processes your body uses to rebuild and maintain muscle tissue — relevant if you're recovering from inactivity, injury, or simply trying to hold on to strength as you age.
The published research
Microcurrent electrical nerve stimulation facilitates regrowth of mouse soleus muscle.
