Anabolic Tissue Preservation

Meaning

Anabolic tissue preservation is the clinical strategy focused on maintaining or increasing the mass and functional quality of lean body tissue, primarily skeletal muscle and bone, against the forces of catabolism. This process is crucial for mitigating sarcopenia and osteopenia, which are hallmarks of biological aging and significant predictors of morbidity. Achieving this preservation is a central tenet of longevity medicine, directly impacting metabolic health and physical independence. It represents a systemic effort to sustain a positive nitrogen balance within the body’s tissues.
