The Impact of Fish Oil on Muscle Strength and Protein Synthesis

This chapter explores the effects of fish oil on muscle protein synthesis and strength. It discusses the role of hormones, such as insulin and testosterone, as well as nutritional factors in regulating muscle protein synthesis. The chapter also mentions a research paper from 2011 which demonstrated that fish oil supplementation can enhance the anabolic response to insulin and amino acid infusion, leading to increased muscle size and strength in healthy young adults.
