mTOR Part 2: Effect of Protein-feeding on mTOR Post-Exercise

The video explains the role of mTOR in cell processes, particularly in muscle growth. It highlights how exercise, especially resistance training, increases mTOR levels, which are further enhanced by protein intake. The importance of amino acids, especially branched-chain amino acids like leucine, in stimulating mTOR and muscle protein synthesis is discussed. The video emphasizes the need for a balanced intake of all amino acids for effective protein synthesis.

What happens to mTOR levels if food is consumed after exercise?

Explain the relationship between insulin and muscle protein synthesis post-exercise.

Why is leucine considered the most potent among branched-chain amino acids?
