Nutrients Webinar | Protein/Amino Acid Nutrition and Skeletal Muscle Metabolism, 3 December 2025
Are you interested in how protein and amino acid nutrition can optimize skeletal muscle health and performance? If so, join us for the webinar “Protein/Amino Acid Nutrition and Skeletal Muscle Metabolism”! This event is perfect for researchers, clinicians, nutritionists, and students in the fields of nutrition, exercise physiology, metabolism, and gerontology, as well as anyone keen on understanding the role of diet in muscle maintenance and adaptation.
The webinar will delve into the latest research on the interplay between dietary protein, amino acids, and skeletal muscle function. We will explore topics such as the molecular and transcriptional responses of muscle to specific amino acids and metabolites like beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), and evidence-based strategies for optimizing protein intake to support muscle maintenance across the lifespan.
This event offers a valuable opportunity to gain insights from internationally renowned scientists and to learn about cutting-edge research bridging nutrition, metabolism, and muscle physiology. Join us to discover how nutritional science can be applied to enhance muscle health in various populations.
