As per usual, the LC diet was higher in protein... but that wasn't enough to
induce skeletal muscle growth, even when combined with resistance exercise... worded another way, resistance exercise and more protein prevented ketogenic diet - induced muscle loss:
At the same time, IGNITOR promotes heightened mTOR activation for enhanced protein synthesis and
skeletal muscle growth.
Myostatin, a member of the transforming growth factor - beta superfamily, is a negative regulator of
skeletal muscle growth.1 Meaning that it limits the size and level of skeletal muscle growth.
