Lean Muscle Anabolism

Meaning

Lean Muscle Anabolism is the metabolic process of synthesizing complex muscle proteins from simpler amino acid precursors, resulting in the net growth and repair of muscle tissue devoid of excess adipose accumulation. This state is fundamentally driven by a positive nitrogen balance and is crucial for increasing or maintaining skeletal muscle mass, strength, and overall metabolic health. Optimizing anabolism is a key therapeutic goal in anti-aging, performance, and recovery medicine to counteract sarcopenia and frailty.
