Growth factor-dependent and independent regulation of skeletal muscle mass - Is IGF-1 necessary for skeletal muscle hypertrophy? - by Mitsunori Miyazaki

“…In this brief review, classic and recent aspects in hormonal/growth factor-dependent regulation of skeletal muscle mass are discussed. This review will particularly focus on 1) functional requirements of IGF-1 regulation in skeletal muscle hypertrophy and 2) cellular mechanisms in the regulation of protein synthesis in skeletal muscle.…”

A dietary supplementation with leucine and antioxidants is capable to accelerate muscle mass recovery after immobilization in adult rats. by Isabelle Savary-Auzeloux, Hugues Magne, Carole Migné, Marion Oberli, Denis Breuillé, Magali Faure, Karine Vidal, Marie Perrot, Didier Rémond, Lydie Combaret, Dominique Dardevet

“…Prolonged inactivity induces muscle loss due to an activation of proteolysis and decreased protein synthesis; the latter is also involved in the recovery of muscle mass. The aim of the present work was to explore the evolution of muscle mass and protein metabolism during immobilization and recovery and assess the effect of a nutritional strategy for counteracting muscle loss and facilitating recovery. …”
