9. Here's the link
Edited on Thu Aug-26-04 09:35 AM by SnohoDem
It was a natural mutation, not doped. I remembered seeing the pic, but not the text. The article was on gene doping.

www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=000E7ACE-5686-10CF-94EB83414B7F0000&pageNumber=2&catID=2

and text from the pic:

BELGIAN BLUE BULL demonstrates the effect of blocking the antigrowth factor myostatin. A natural genetic mutation in this breed produces a truncated, ineffective form of myostatin, which allows muscle growth to go unchecked. The absence of myostatin also interferes with fat deposition, making these "double-muscled" cattle exceptionally lean.
