Modulation of muscle protein synthesis by amino acids: what consequences for the secretome? A preliminary in vitro study

Amino Acids. 2019 Nov;51(10-12):1681-1688. doi: 10.1007/s00726-019-02796-1. Epub 2019 Oct 25.

Abstract

The modulation by amino acids of muscle secretome is largely unknown. In this study, we investigate the effect of hyperaminoacidemia or specific amino acids (citrulline or leucine) on protein synthesis and secretome in myotubes. All conditions stimulate muscle protein synthesis, and secretome is differently modulated depending of the amino acids considered. In conclusion, the activation of protein synthesis by amino acids induces different modulations of the muscle secretome, proposing a new role of amino acids in the regulation of muscle function.
