Abstract
Background: The loss of skeletal muscle mass that occurs with
aging, chronic disease or acute injury is clinically important
in the health of humans. The mechanisms relating to the
synthesis and breakdown of skeletal muscle are now being
intensely investigated. Current studies and possible mechanisms
for skeletal muscle protein synthesis and degradation will be
reviewed with a specific focus on growth hormone and
testosterone.
Conclusions: Investigation of the mechanisms of action of growth
hormone and testosterone in skeletal muscle will likely lead to
new therapies to prevent skeletal muscle loss and new awareness
of the importance of skeletal muscle in health and disease.
