Compositions and methods for deactivation of catabolic processes and protein synthesis in skeletal muscle

摘要

A method for activating the protein synthesis machinery and deactivating catabolic processes within skeletal muscle by regulating molecular signals to control anabolic and anti-catabolic activity in skeletal muscle via nutrients including but not limited to amino acids and growth factors. Also provided is a supplemental dietary composition that may include L-Leucine, including salts or derivatives thereof, L-phenylalanine, including salts or derivatives thereof, and/or creatine, including salts or derivatives therof, and may also include sources of dietary protein and/or carbohydrates.
