heat shock proteins are also protecting against muscle atrophy, so that's also having to do with the protein structure and the muscle tissue as well. And this has been studies in animal data as well as some recent human data as well. It was local hyperthermia or local heat treatment, but essentially it showed that it protected. There was a study where they were looking at muscle disuse, and it was something like the local heat treatment prevented almost 40% of the muscle atrophy from disuse.
