As you will see from the following two quotes, not only does insulin promote
increased anabolic responses but it also suppresses protein breakdown:
Recent studies showed that supplementing with 4g of fish oil for 8 weeks (1.86 g EPA and 1.5 g DHA), significantly
increases the anabolic response of muscle protein synthesis to amino acids and insulin.
Contrary to popular belief, the cardio also
increases the anabolic response you get from the weight training, so even if you're trying to bulk up, it's always good to add that in.
Burd and colleagues [90] found that resistance training to failure can cause
an increased anabolic response to protein feedings that can last up to 24 hours.
These findings further demonstrate how HMB supplementation potentiates and
increases the anabolic response of resistance exercise.

Soy protein has been found to offer multiple health benefits, and some studies suggest that adding this inexpensive product to your protein shakes could
increase the impact of your body's
anabolic response to protein, i.e. enhance the building of muscles.
The augmented
anabolic response to amino acids and insulin was shown to be due to an
increased activation of the mTOR / p70S6K signalling pathway, which is considered an integral control point for muscle protein anabolism and muscle cell growth.
The researchers stated that «6 - OXO supplemented at these dosages for eight weeks did not decrease fat mass or cause an
anabolic response by
increasing muscle mass.»
Google «myostatin» and «IGF - 1»; there's a few studies that examine the
anabolic response from that angle, demonstrating that high reps =
increased hypertrophy rates.
Therefore, given that I would guess that the vast majority of your patients, at the very least, need to
increase muscle mass and function, restore gut lining integrity, and so much more in terms of protein - based
anabolic responses, 0.8 g / kg / day simply will not get the job done.
''...
increasing the amount of dietary protein eaten with breakfast and lunch will benefit the overall
anabolic response for the day, but in doing this there is no metabolic reason to decrease the amount of protein eaten with dinner.»
However, when stressors are long term and even moderate intensity, the allostatic
response increases in magnitude to the point where it is no longer a positive,
anabolic entity but a negative, catabolic entity that contributes to or creates virtually every chronic illness we see in our practices today.
It inhibits
anabolic signaling pathways when cellular ATP levels are decreased and AMP levels
increase in
response to limited energy availability (31).
