Scientists hadn't previously seen how mTOR and p70 S6 kinase work together in human muscle after exercise.
Scientific Claim
The relationship between mTOR and p70 S6 kinase has not been previously reported in human muscle during exercise recovery.
Source Excerpt
“It has previously been shown that leucine infusion increases p70 S6 kinase phosphorylation in an Akt-independent manner in resting subjects; however, a relation between mTOR and p70 S6 kinase has not been reported previously.”
Evidence from Studies
Supporting Studies
Branched-chain amino acids activate key enzymes in protein synthesis after physical exercise.
The study references prior research stating that the relationship between mTOR and p70 S6 kinase has not been previously reported. This is a descriptive finding about the novelty of the study's findings.
⚠️ Overstated
The study is referencing prior research, not conducting new experiments on this specific point. The claim uses 'has not been previously reported' which is factual but the study design doesn't support this claim as it's not testing this directly.
More accurate phrasing:
“Prior research has not reported a relationship between mTOR and p70 S6 kinase in human muscle during exercise recovery.”
