Energy balance
Intracellular energy availability influences protein synthesis and breakdown pathways.
Nutritional strategies should consider energy availability to enhance muscle adaptation.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The activities of these cellular pathways are bioenergetically expensive and are modified by intracellular energy availability (i.e. macronutrient intake).
Why this rating
The abstract provides a clear link between energy availability and protein pathways.
