Leucine stimulates mTOR and muscle protein synthesis in both animal and human

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: Several studies shows that leucine contributes to the activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling and to the inhibition of the adenosine monophosphate kinase (AMPK) activity, processes that potentially enhance protein synthesis and skeletal muscle growth.
