Skeletal muscles are made up of thousands of cylindrical muscle fibers. The fibers are bound together by connective tissue that has blood vessels that feed the muscle. The number of fibers is set early in life. You can not increase the number of fibers only the fiber size. Increased strength and muscle mass comes about through an increase in the thickness of each fiber and increases in the quantity of connective tissue. Many factors contribute to muscle hypertrophy and/or atrophy. Acute exercise, lack of exercise, diseases, hormones, drugs, age and genetics all affect the muscle cells by growth or shrinkage. Each of these things affects the muscle fibers, that is, muscles at the cellular level. While some of these factors are controllable like exercise, hormone levels and drug use the others are not so easily managed. Many can leave the muscle cells irreversibly damaged. Weight resistance training is probably the most commonly known way to build muscle. This happens by breaking down the muscle and rebuilding it bigger and usually stronger. Actin/myosin filaments become damaged during high-tension contractions. Plus, small breaks in plasma membrane let calcium leak into the muscle cells


Diabetes, only one of thousands of diseases, can drastically reduce the muscles of the foot, yet the nearby lower leg muscles are unaffected. The decrease in muscle volume and strength can be as much as 30-40% from the age of about 20-30 years to that of 70 or 80 years. Then a protein called ubiquitin binds to the broken filaments marking them for destructive purposes. This study offers some insight to the role of hormonal factors in hypertrophy stimulation. Strength degradation is linked with a lessening in muscle mass mediated by a decrease in the volume and a loss of individual muscle fibers(6). When muscle increases in mass, it is mostly due to the activation, production, and combination of satellite cells to myofibres(5). E, C, G, and H are normal muscle cells. B, C, and D are the patients in families I, II, & III respectively. While most people know that exercise lends to muscle growth and development, muscle atrophy is a little less understood. Once the phagocytic stage is complete, the damaged fibers are rapidly broken down. They release toxins, including oxygen radicals, which increase membrane permeability and phagocytize the tissue debris. Despite resistance training roles in the enhanced hormonal circulation, other local factors such as cell receptor density, circulating binding proteins, regional blood flow, etc. If the macrophages don't invade the muscle, the activation of satellite cells does not occur and muscle repair does begin. It seems that many age-related muscle mass and strength losses can be attributed to lifestyle factors such as a waning in the amount of daily physical activities since, with resistance training, much of the lost strength can be regained(10). Now the body concentrates on repairing the damaged muscle cells(6).
