In a recent research done at University of Iowa it was found that the waxy substance known as Ursolic acid found in apple peel reduces muscle atrophy and promotes muscle growth.
It was found to reduce fat, blood sugar level, cholesterol and triglyceride, hence can be used in muscle wasting diseases like diabetes.
It is considered a good solution for muscle atrophy in patients with long standing diseases as it contains the chemical called ursolic acid which was found to block atrophy.
The ursolic acid reduces muscle atrophy by helping Insulin like Growth Factor 1(IGF1) and insulin to build muscle.
Interestingly this ursolic acid although increases muscle weight, it didn't increase total body weight..
