ΔMfn2 enhances respiratory control ratio in mouse skeletal muscle.
This indicates potential for improving muscle energy efficiency.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
enhanced respiratory control ratio, which occurred in the absence of changes in mitochondrial mass.
Why this rating
Based on the experimental findings presented in the abstract.

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
