Summary

Description
English: Diagram of the molecular signaling cascades that are involved in myofibrillar muscle protein synthesis and mitochondrial biogenesis in response to physical exercise and specific amino acids or their derivatives (primarily leucine and beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate ).

Abbreviations and schematic representations:

PLD: phospholipase D
PA: phosphatidic acid
mTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin
AMP: adenosine monophosphate
ATP: adenosine triphosphate
AMPK: AMP-activated protein kinase
PGC‐1α: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α
4EBP1: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1
S6K1: p70S6 kinase
eIF4E: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E
RPS6: ribosomal protein S6
eEF2: eukaryotic elongation factor 2
RE: resistance exercise; EE: endurance exercise
Myo: myofibrillar; Mito: mitochondrial
AA: amino acids
↑ represents activation
Τ represents inhibition
