  2. Excessive growth

  1. undergo hypertrophy; "muscles can hypertrophy when people take steroids"
  2. abnormal enlargement of a body part or organ
  3. (hypertrophied) (of an organ or body part) excessively enlarged as a result of increased size in the constituent cells; "hypertrophied myocardial fibers"
  4. An increase in the size of an organ due to swelling of the individual cells; Increase in muscle size through increased size of individual muscle cells; a result of weightlifting, and other exercise. ...

  6. (Hypertrophic) scars appear during healing of the wound. The scar tissue is limited to the original wound, but overlaps to the bordering skin and is reddened.  Often the scars disappear on their own.

  8. Excessive development of an organ or part; increase in bulk as by thickening of muscle fibers.
  9. Usually we are referring to “muscular hypertrophy” in the fitness field. It’s when the volume of your muscle tissue is increased due to the enlargement of the muscle cells because of the stimulus from a  resistance training program. ...
  10. Growth of lean tissue (particularly muscle) in response to training
  11. A thickening of the muscle of the pumping chamber (ventricle) of the heart. This results from increased work of that chamber (the heart muscle gets large and thick with an increased work-out, just like the biceps muscle). ...
  12. is the term used to describe an increase in size of any cell. Hypertrophy can result from physiological stimuli e.g. exercise, where there is compensation by the cells to an increased work load. It also results from a compensatory action due to poor contraction in other regions of the heart.
  13. increased in size of an organ or body structure
  14. An increase in cell size (girth), usually in reference to fat or muscle cells.
  15. Overgrowth due to enlargement of existing cells.
  16. Increase in the myofibrils size. In other words, getting bigger muscles. "Hyper" means high, as in "hyperglycemia" (high blood sugar), "hypertension" (high blood pressure) and "hyperventilation" (high rate of breathing). ...
  17. the state of having growth greater than normal.
  18. The enlargement or overgrowth of a part or organ, not due to tumor formation. Hypertrophy denotes greater bulk through increase in size, but not in number, of cells or other individual tissue elements.
  19. When cells increase in sized and cause enlarged tissues and organs.
  20. increase in muscle size. Thickening of muscle fibers withoutincreasing the number of muscle cells resulting in greater muscle power.
  21. The scientific term denoting an increase in muscle mass and an improvement in relative muscular strength. Hypertrophy is induced by placing an "over-load" on the working muscles with various training tech-niques during a bodybuilding workout.
  22. is an increase in cell size. If enough cells of an organ hypertrophy so will the whole organ. The heart and kidneys have increased susceptibility to hypertrophy. Hypertrophy involves an increase in intracellular protein rather than cytosol (intracellular fluid). ...
  23. (Gr. hyper = over t trophe = food): excessive enlargement of cells.
  24. The muscular enlargement that results from resistance training.
  25. An abnormal growth of tissue due to the enlargement of each of the cellular parts without an increase in the number of cells.
