There is also another mechanism by which cellular amino acid nutrition impacts on
mTOR signalling; this involves the amino acids generated within the lysosomes by intracellular
protein degradation and autophagosomal digestion [23,24].
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.
mTOR is the
signal that says, «Let's make some
protein!»
Eating too much
protein can also activate your body's most important
signaling pathway —
mTOR, or the mammalian target of rapamycin — and boost your risk of cancer.
Insulin and leptin receptor resistance from too many net carbs and activation of the
mTOR metabolic
signaling pathway by too much
protein.
Akt stimulates glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, and
protein synthesis via Akt /
mTOR and Akt / GSK -3 β
signaling networks and inhibits apoptosis and
protein degradation in skeletal muscle by inactivating FoxO transcription factors leading to increased lean mass.
mTOR integrates
signals from insulin, nutrients (amino acids or dietary
protein) and the fuel gauge of the cell, AMPK (all energy including fats) to determine whether the cell should divide and grow, or involute and become dormant.
The resulting increase in free amino acid concentrations activates the serine / threonine kinases, Akt1 and Akt2, which mobilize the
signaling protein mTOR (the mammalian target of rapamycin), which then suppresses autophagic activity.

Leucine is both a component of muscle but also a potent
signaling molecule for a
protein called
mTOR which, when activated, tells muscle cells to collect and store amino acids.
Leucine is the catalyst in
signaling the
mTOR pathway which activates
protein synthesis.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are not universally bad, and one of their important functions is to
signal the body to increase
protein synthesis as part of the
mTOR pathway.
The «typical» high -
protein dietary recommendations promoted on BB websites lead to increased IGF1 and
mTOR signalling which is not very healthy for an adult as these are growth factors that tend to grow things (e.g. cancer) that we are not looking forward to.
mTOR is extremely sensitive to Leucine and decreasing concentrations
signal to
mTOR that there is not enough dietary
protein present to synthesize new skeletal muscle
protein, so
mTOR deactivates.
Increased Leucine levels
signal to
mTOR that there is enough dietary
protein to synthesize new skeletal muscle
protein, so
mTOR «turns on» muscle growth.
For example, because long - term use of marijuana downregulates the expression and responsiveness of the CB1 receptor, in a manner similar to frequent blood sugar swings leading to insulin resistance, some say that THC may impair muscle building by interrupting the
mTOR signaling pathway, which is important for
protein synthesis.
It seems that both
signaling muscle
protein synthesis (MPS) and aging prematurely (as discussed in this and previous video) involve the leucine /
mTOR connection.
Declining leucine levels
signal mTOR that there's a lack of dietary
protein present to synthesize new skeletal muscle
protein, therefore disabling
mTOR.
Upon ingesting increased concentrations of leucine, the elevated amino acid then
signals mTOR that sufficient dietary
protein exists, and switches on overall
protein synthesis.
The discordant
mTOR - p70S6K phosphorylation with
protein only and
protein feedings with alcohol is not unprecedented given we [8] and others [43] have shown that
mTOR - S6K phosphorylation often parallels changes in MPS but does not always reflect either the magnitude or duration of the increased MPS
signal in humans.
The first novel finding of this study was that
mTOR signaling and rates of myofibrillar
protein synthesis (MPS) following concurrent resistance, continuous and intermittent high - intensity exercise, designed to mimic the metabolic profile of many team sports, were impaired during the early (8 h) recovery phase by the ingestion of large amounts (1.5 g • kg − 1 BM) of alcohol.
