[HTML][HTML] Acute post-exercise myofibrillar protein synthesis is not correlated with resistance training-induced muscle hypertrophy in young men

Muscle hypertrophy following resistance training (RT) involves activation of myofibrillar
protein synthesis (MPS) to expand the myofibrillar protein pool. The degree of hypertrophy
following RT is, however, highly variable and thus we sought to determine the relationship
between the acute activation of MPS and RT-induced hypertrophy. We measured MPS and
signalling protein activation after the first session of resistance exercise (RE) in untrained
men (n= 23) and then examined the relation between MPS with magnetic resonance image …
