The fractional synthetic rate (FSR)
of myofibrillar protein synthesis was calculated using the standard precursor — product method:
The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of alcohol intake on anabolic cell signaling and rates
of myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) in humans during recovery from a bout of strenuous exercise approximating stresses an athlete may experience in training and performance for various team sports such as various football and rugby codes, and court sports.
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.
So while low reps with heavy weight is best at stimulating myofibrillar hypertrophy, and high reps with light weight is best at stimulating sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, moderate reps seem to strike a balance between inducing significant amounts
of both myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.
While the initiation
of myofibrillar protein synthesis is influenced by a number of factors, mTOR is a key regulatory factor that results in a direct increase in myofibrillar protein synthesis.
Some people think the difference in the size and strength of bodybuilders and strength athletes is evidence that sarcoplasmic hypertrophy can occur independent
of myofibrillar hypertrophy.
Another advantage
of myofibrillar growth is that is more permanent.

Resistance exercise enhances
myofibrillar protein synthesis with graded intakes
of whey protein in older men.
Myofibrillar hypertrophy on the other hand is a result
of training with heavy weights and low repetitions.
There are actually two very different types
of hypertrophy that can take place within the muscle:
myofibrillar hypertrophy (denser muscle fibers) and sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (bulkier muscle fibers).
On the other hand, real muscle growth is caused by
myofibrillar hypertrophy, which happens when you train with heavy weights for low reps, and this type
of hypertrophy is also responsible for huge strength gains.
Myofibrillar hypertrophy is the process
of enlargement
of the size / volume / protein content
of the muscle tissue, also known as «real» growth.
It is believed that the nucleus releases increased amounts
of mRNA as a response to muscle tension and
myofibrillar damage, which happens because
of insufficient cycling
of the actin / myosin cross-bridges which happen during very intense muscle contractions, even though the exact mechanism is not yet understood in detail.
A much more permanent growth is achieved by the second type
of training that causes
myofibrillar hypertrophy.
The second one is called
myofibrillar hypertrophy and it represents enlargement
of the muscle fiber as it gains more myofibrils, which contracts and does all the functional work — creates tension in the muscle.With this type
of hypertrophy, the area density
of myofibrils increases and there is a significantly greater ability to exert muscular strength.
Myofibrillar hypertrophy is an increase in the number and size
of myofibrils in your muscle fibres.
Myofibrillar hypertrophy, then, refers to an increase in the size and number
of myofibrils in muscle fibers.
This is known as
myofibrillar hypertrophy, in which the contractile unit
of the muscle gets stronger and larger, ultimately leading to greater force production.
Whey protein has demonstrated the ability to enhance
myofibrillar protein synthesis, in doses
of 20g in young adults and 40g in aging muscle by research scientist at the Department
of Kinesiology at McMaster University in Canada.
Myofibrillar proteins are the proteins in muscle that cause muscles to contract and are responsible for the strength
of the muscle contraction.
Experimental setup Researchers at the University
of Toronto measured the number
of grams
of protein needed for optimal postprandial
myofibrillar protein synthesis in two groups
of men.
This post / discussion is incomplete in many ways; only one is that it fails to explain / account for the difference between
myofibrillar growth vs sarcoplasmic growth and the type
of training that accounts for each adaption.
Myofibrillar hypertrophy is an increase in the contractile component
of the cell.
The ratio
of sarcoplasmic:
myofibrillar hypertrophy you experience is not a reflection
of which exercises or equipment you utilise but rather how you stress the body through training.
Myofibrillar muscle protein synthesis rates subsequent to a meal in response to increasing doses
of whey protein at rest and after resistance exercise
Ingestion
of 40 g protein before sleep increases
myofibrillar protein synthesis rates during overnight sleep.
The heavy loads allow for
myofibrillar protein synthesis to take place which, as discussed, will increase the size
of the contractile proteins.
Modification
of glucocorticoid - induced changes in
myofibrillar protein turnover in rats by protein and energy deficiency as assessed by urinary excretion
of Ntau - methylhistidine
As such, it appears that the insulin / IGF - PI 3K pathway not only regulates
myofibrillar cleavage through caspase 3, but also the ubiquitylation
of the resulting protein fragments via modification
of ubiquitin - ligase expression.
Weight training aims to build muscle by prompting two different types
of hypertrophy: sarcoplasmic and
myofibrillar.
i.e. a bodybuilder will use sarcoplasmic hypertrophy most
of the time, but may change to
myofibrillar hypertrophy temporarily in order to move past a plateau.
Light microscopic evaluation
of histological and histochemical stains and reactions was performed according to standard protocols [20] and included hematoxylin and eosin, modified Gomori trichrome, periodic acid Schiff, phosphorylase, esterase,
myofibrillar ATPase reaction at preincubation pH
of 9.8, 4.5, and 4.3, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide - tetrazolium reductase, succinic dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, and oil red O.
