Since its publication in 1950, the Biology of Human Starvation, which describes the classic
longitudinal Minnesota Experiment of semistarvation and refeeding in healthy young men …

We aimed to quantify declines from baseline in lower limb skeletal muscle size and strength
of uninjured adults following single‐leg disuse. We searched EMBASE, Medline, CINAHL …

Background It remains unclear whether non–animal-derived dietary protein sources (and
therefore vegan diets) can support resistance training-induced skeletal muscle remodeling …

Astronauts experience dramatic loss of muscle mass, decreased strength, and insulin
resistance, despite performing daily intense physical exercise that would lead to muscle …

Background The decline in postabsorptive and postprandial muscle protein fractional
synthesis rates (FSR) does not quantitatively account for muscle atrophy during …

Background Translational capacity (ie ribosomal mass) is a key determinant of protein
synthesis and has been associated with skeletal muscle hypertrophy. The role of …

Animal-derived dietary protein ingestion and physical activity stimulate myofibrillar protein
synthesis rates in older adults. We determined whether a non-animal-derived diet can …

Background Inactivity and unloading induce skeletal muscle atrophy, loss of strength and
detrimental metabolic effects. Bed rest is a model to study the impact of inactivity on the …

Short-term disuse leads to muscle loss driven by lowered daily myofibrillar protein synthesis
(MyoPS). However, disuse commonly results from muscle damage, and its influence on …

Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle protein breakdown (MPB) are influenced
through dietary protein intake and physical (in) activity, which it follows, regulate skeletal …
