Protein Quality and Dietary Recommendations

Note that leucine, insulin and HMB inhibit the proteasome and inhibit this process.

And in contrast, glucagon, cortisol and epinephrine actually promotes the activity of

the proteasome. Now, Cal pains, so in your muscles, you have the proteasome

degradation system, but to enhance it, to allow more rapid mobilization of proteins from muscles

you have Cal pains, which are enzymes that attach to proteins and degrade them. So in muscles,

you really have two systems for breaking down proteins, because that is your main protein

receptacle, place where you have available to you amino acids. Okay,

now let's get practical. Let's talk about protein quality. So we're going to talk about diet
