Catabolic State Reversal

Meaning

Catabolic State Reversal describes the clinical objective of transitioning the body from a net tissue breakdown state, characterized by elevated cortisol and negative nitrogen balance, back toward an anabolic or maintenance phase. This shift is crucial when prolonged catabolism threatens lean muscle mass or compromises immune system integrity. We seek to re-establish favorable substrate utilization patterns within the metabolic milieu.
