Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is a culmination of catabolic and anabolic processes that are
interwoven into major metabolic pathways, and as such modulation of skeletal muscle …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the factors that influence muscle protein
metabolism in the growing organism. The “heritable/congenital” component, namely the …

Skeletal muscle comprises about 40% of body weight and contains 50–75% of all proteins in
the human body. Therefore, aside from its role in converting chemical energy into …

Molecular biological methods are pervading all biomedical fields and it is likely that they will
soon introduce new techniques to veterinary diagnostics and have a major impact on food …

Muscle metabolic properties vary with body size, with larger animals relying relatively less
on oxidative metabolism as a result of lower specific activities of mitochondrial enzymes and …
