Not exact matches

When asked to explain why growth hormone is an anabolic hormone rather than a steroid, the answer is that it stimulates the continual growth of the body's tissues, namely skeletal and muscle.

The recent recognition that de novo lipogenesis might have relevance for lipid homeostasis in skeletal muscle stems from the realization that Sterol regulatory element binding protein - 1c (SREBP - 1c), a member of the family of transcription factors that regulate the expression of genes involved in lipid storage in liver and adipose tissue, is also present in skeletal muscle at a level close to that observed in the liver, 41,42... [M] ost fascinating are the very recent demonstrations that glucose alone (in the absence of insulin) can stimulate de novo lipogenesis in skeletal muscle cells....

One can also entertain the interesting possibility that, in skeletal muscle, this substrate cycling is also activated in response to other hormones and neurotransmitters (eg, adiponectin, catecholamines) particularly since adiponectin, as well as adrenergic agonists, can also stimulate AMPK activity, glucose utilization and fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle or adipose tissue.61, 66 — 69 This substrate cycling between de novo lipogenesis and lipid oxidation could therefore constitute a thermogenic effector in skeletal muscle.

Therefore, it is not surprising to find that the muscle hypertrophy resulting from strength training was associated with the increases in whole - body insulin sensitivity we observed, because skeletal muscle constitutes the target tissue where most of the insulin - stimulated glucose uptake takes place [34].

Leucine supplementation of a low - protein meal increases skeletal muscle and visceral tissue protein synthesis in neonatal pigs by stimulating mTOR - dependent translation initiation
