Assessing the Role of Muscle Protein Breakdown in Response to Nutrition and Exercise in Humans
24 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Muscle protein breakdown (MPB) is an important metabolic component of muscle remodeling, adaptation to training, and increasing muscle mass. Degradation of muscle proteins occurs via the integration of three main systems-autophagy and the calpain and ubiquitin-proteasome systems. These systems do not operate independently, and the regulation is complex. Complete degradation of a protein requires some combination...
