Anabolic Response Pathways

Meaning

The constellation of intracellular signaling cascades initiated by anabolic stimuli, primarily hormones like testosterone and growth hormone, leading to increased net protein synthesis and muscle accretion. This process involves modulating gene expression related to tissue building and repair within target cells. Clinically, optimizing these pathways is central to managing sarcopenia and supporting regenerative physiology. Understanding this response is crucial for tailoring therapeutic interventions aimed at improving lean body mass.
