Protein Synthesis Maintenance

Meaning

Protein Synthesis Maintenance is the critical physiological process and clinical objective of sustaining a robust and efficient rate of protein production within cells, essential for the continuous repair, turnover, and growth of muscle, bone, skin, and immune components. This mechanism is fundamentally anabolic, counteracting the catabolic decline associated with aging and chronic stress, which leads to sarcopenia and frailty. Clinical strategies are often employed to ensure the body’s cellular machinery retains the capacity to build and replace structural and enzymatic proteins effectively.
