Anabolic Resistance Treatment

Meaning

This clinical approach refers to therapeutic strategies designed to overcome the diminished responsiveness of muscle tissue to anabolic stimuli, such as amino acids and hormones like insulin and testosterone. Anabolic resistance is a key factor contributing to muscle loss, or sarcopenia, particularly in aging, chronic illness, and states of metabolic dysfunction. The treatment aims to enhance muscle protein synthesis and mitigate the catabolic processes that lead to muscle wasting. Successfully addressing this resistance is central to preserving lean body mass and maintaining functional independence across the lifespan.
