What Is Anabolism?
Anabolism is the metabolic process that is characterized by molecular growth, such as the increase of muscle mass. Thus, it means “muscle growth” in most common bodybuilding contexts. The latest supplement research shows that the synergistic effects of supplementing with carbs and essential amino acids aid in maximizing the anabolic response to weight training. Clinical studies performed in recent years have already shown that essential amino acids can exert significant anabolic effects via increased protein synthesis and net nitrogen balance. Yup. What Does “Nitrogen Balance” Refer To? The difference between the amount of nitrogen taken in and the amount excreted. If you lose more nitrogen than you consume, your body will break down muscle tissue to get the nitrogen it needs (negative nitrogen state), and muscle loss occurs. If you consume more nitrogen than you lose, you will be in an anabolic (muscle building) state (positive nitrogen state). RELATED ARTICLE Nitrogen Balance: The Ke
