Research Abstract |
Muscle atrophy in aging causes decreased QOL. In this study, suppression of muscle atrophy with decrease in protein degradation and increase in protein synthesis by amino acids named anti-stress amino acids. Taurine had no effects on muscle protein turnover, however citrulline and tryptophan showed to suppress muscle atrophy. In particular, citrulline had unique effects on muscle protein turnover.
