Research also shows that there is no significant difference between the effects of an uneven protein distribution over the course of the day (meaning the majority of protein is consumed in one meal) and the effects of a more balanced one — both of them have similar
effects on skeletal muscle protein turnover and lean mass retention.
Hirabara SM, Silveira LR, Abdulkader F, Carvalho CRO, Procopio J, Curi R. Time - dependent effects of fatty
acids on skeletal muscle metabolism.
A review investigated the evidence on protein, resistance exercise and their combined effects
on skeletal muscle hypertrophy and found that supplementing with either whey protein alone or with carbohydrate after exercise, and possibly before and during, improved muscle hypertrophy.
The results
obtained on skeletal muscles, moreover, will have to be interpreted in conjunction with those deriving from other studies of the PlanHab project, dealing with the cardiovascular, respiratory, immune and central nervous systems and metabolism.»
Riccardo Cicchi received his Master Degree in physics in 2003 at the University of Florence,
working on skeletal muscle myosin mechanics, using a multiple optical tweezers setup.
A lot of endurance athletes and some coaches are concerned about the overall anabolic effects of
lifting on skeletal muscle, which may compromise performance by increasing overall mass.
I owe a big thank you to a number of people for the ideas contained in this post, notably Dr Brad Schoenfeld for his fantastic literature
review on skeletal muscle hypertrophy, Dr Ben Rosenblatt for introducing me to occlusion training, Paul Carter for his writing on compensatory acceleration training, Dante Trudel for devising DC training, and many others.
Interactions of Exercise Training and Lipoic Acid
on Skeletal Muscle Glucose Transport in Obese Zucker Rats J Appl Physiol 2001 (Jul); 91 (1): 145 — 153 These results indicate that Exercise Training and Alpha Lipoic Acid interact in an additive fashion to improve insulin action in insulin - resistant skeletal muscle.
Only compounds that have DIRECT anabolic effects
on skeletal muscle will score highly here.
This could clearly have a negative effect
on your skeletal muscles» ability to heal and repair themselves, and could lead to eventually becoming more or less incapacitated.
~ Insulin - sensitizing effects of dietary resistant starch and effects
on skeletal muscle and adipose tissue metabolism (human study — full text).
This article reviews the available literature related to the effects of negative energy balance
on skeletal muscle mass, highlighting investigations that assessed the influence of varying levels of dietary protein on skeletal muscle protein metabolism.
The objective of this article is to provide a contemporary analysis of the available literature regarding the effects of energy restriction
on skeletal muscle mass, with an emphasis on studies assessing the influence of varying levels of dietary protein on skeletal muscle protein metabolism.
