High fat feeding increases mTORC 1/2 complex formation by approximately 70% for Raptor and 60% for Rictor.
High fat diets significantly alter mTOR complex formation, which may impact muscle growth and metabolism.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The association of mTOR and its binding partners Raptor (p=0.02) and Rictor (p=0.03) were increased in HF by ~70% and ~60%, respectively.
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving direct measurements of protein complexes.
