The Importance of High-Quality Muscle for Protein Synthesis
46:50 - 55:55 (09:05)
The benefits of having high-quality muscle include regulating most of your protein synthesis, as well as activating an energy signaling mechanism called AMPK. Despite the common misconception that gaining muscle is unnecessary, increasing muscle size promotes myofibrillar accretion and ultimately leads to better health outcomes.
Clips
Having high quality muscle activates gene cascades that regulate protein synthesis through an energy signaling process known as AMPK, even if you're not interested in gaining muscle.
