Anabolic Signal Sustenance

Meaning

Anabolic Signal Sustenance refers to the physiological strategy of maintaining consistently elevated, yet healthy, intracellular signaling pathways that promote tissue synthesis and growth, particularly in skeletal muscle and bone. This concept emphasizes the continuous, favorable ratio of anabolic to catabolic processes over time, moving beyond transient post-exercise or post-meal spikes. The goal is to optimize the cellular environment to favor protein synthesis, nitrogen retention, and structural repair, thereby enhancing lean tissue accrual and mitigating age-related muscle loss, known as sarcopenia.
