    The Engine of Growth: Understanding Muscle Protein Synthesis

    Dr. Jarrod W. Brown

    The Biology of Mass Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is the fundamental process by which our bodies repair and build muscle tissue. It’s a continuous cycle of breaking down existing proteins (muscle protein breakdown or MPB) and creating new ones. When MPS exceeds MPB, you experience muscle growth, or hypertrophy. Understanding this process is key to… Read more
