Clinical trials: Female Protein Metabolism
Female Sex Hormones, Menstrual Cycle
Menstrual Cycle vs. Oral Contraceptives: Effects on Muscle Protein Metabolism After Resistance Exercise
The muscles of the body are constantly breaking down old proteins and building new ones. These two processes, protein breakdown and protein synthesis, together are known as protein turnover.

Dietary Protein, Female Protein Metabolism
A 'Non-Invasive' Breath Test to Determine Anabolic Sensitivity in Females
The maintenance of lean body mass, especially skeletal muscle, is vital for optimal health and performance across the lifespan. The protein component of lean body mass is in a constant state of turnover, involving the…
