|
What does leucine directly activate? |
the Akt/mTOR pathway in skeletal muscle, which is the key pathway in skeletal muscle protein synthesis. |
|
Leucine's role in muscle specific genes (MPS) |
An increase in Akt/mTOP pathway/protein synthesis causes a hypertrophic response. |

|
Both autogenicinhibition and reciprocal inhibition resultfrom what? |
Stimulation of Golgi tendon organs, which cause reflexive muscle relaxation. |
