In addition to its mechanical role skeletal muscle protein fulfils an important metabolic role
as a store of energy and amino acids which may be called upon by the rest of the body
during injury, starvation and disease 11, 21. Skeletal muscle represents 70% of the lean
body mass and is the major site of new protein deposition during growth [31. Up to now, our
understanding of the regulation of muscle growth and protein balance in health and disease
has been based on animal experimentation because of the lack of a convenient method …
