This research aims to understand how muscle protein synthesis and breakdown influence skeletal muscle mass.
Analyzed processes of muscle protein synthesis and breakdown.
Examined the balance between these two processes in muscle metabolism.
Muscle protein synthesis and breakdown work concurrently to maintain muscle mass.
An imbalance between these processes can lead to muscle loss or gain.
Abstract
Whole-body skeletal muscle mass is determined by the balance of two concurrent processes—muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle protein breakdown (MPB)—collectively termed muscle protein turnover ...
