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.
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.
