""" Later in life, myoregulin steps in to help regulate muscle activity. When a muscle receives a stimulus, cellular storage depots spill calcium, triggering the fibers to contract and generate force. An ion pump called SERCA then starts to return the calcium to storage, allowing the muscle fibers to relax. Myoregulin binds to and inhibits SERCA, Olson's team found. The effect limits how often a mouse's muscles can contract—perhaps ensuring that the animal has muscle power in reserve for an emergency, such as escaping a predator. Another small protein, DWORF, has the opposite effect, unleashing SERCA and enabling the muscle to contract repeatedly. """ I've noticed when I take magnesium that my muscles really relax, and jaw doesnt tighten as much when I sleep. this is from what i understand, because Magnesium acts as a natural calcium blocker, helping your muscle cells relax after contracting preventing excess muscle contraction (tightness). An interesting avenue i've started exploring is attacking the problem from another angle and instead of using mg, lying on a grounding mat plugged into a wall, which after reading this, is providing extra grounding for the "ion pump" described above? After sleeping on that mat, i feel even more relaxed than downing 500mg of magensium, i can even feel like the inner heart area be able to relax, which otherwise felt uncommandable to relax. Ben greenfield, a biohacker whos pumped his entire body full of stemcells at one point (including the netherregions), has recently been investing it [1] I can imagine since we know _so little_ about how even proteins and now these mini proteins work... how is the underlying electric system affecting the whole interaction a couple of abstraction levels up!?! what happens when the entire system is operating under a slight electric potential for 80% of lifetime, as opposed to being grounded?
