Nutrient Partitioning Control refers to the hormonal orchestration that directs ingested calories toward desired tissues, such as muscle synthesis or adipose storage, based on metabolic need.
Origin
The term derives from sports science and nutritional physiology, where maximizing lean mass accretion is a primary goal.
Mechanism
Insulin sensitivity, growth hormone status, and thyroid hormone action are central to this control, determining whether glucose and amino acids are preferentially shuttled toward anabolic pathways or fat deposition.
