First off, i must say my knowledge of human physiology is incredibly poor otherwise i wouldn't be asking this question lol, sorry if it's stupid.
I have recently been put on Lymecycline a tetracycline antibiotic, to treat acne, (strangely i have had moderate acne on small area of my face for a few months and im 20 years old, doctor said it was normal though).
I was reading the mechanism of action on wikipedia and here it is;
Tetracycline antibiotics are protein synthesis inhibitors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_synthesis_inhibitor), inhibiting the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminoacyl-tRNA) to the mRNA-ribosome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRNA-ribosome) complex. They do so mainly by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30S_ribosomal_subunit) in the mRNA translation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRNA_translation) complex.
Tetracyclines also have been found to inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_metalloproteinases). This mechanism does not add to their antibiotic effects, but has led to extensive research on chemically modified tetracyclines or CMTs (like incyclinide (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Incyclinide&action=edit&redlink=1)) for the treatmet of rosacea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosacea), acne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acne) and various types of neoplasms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoplasm)."
Im going to be taking it for 4 months, the protein synthesis inhibitor part grabbed my attention, is this going to have any effect on muscle growth?
