The Claim
In chick myotubes under normal energy conditions, creatine supplementation is associated with increased protein synthesis and upregulation of total and phosphorylated P70S6K, indicating a potential activation of the mTOR/P70S6K signaling pathway that may stimulate muscle protein synthesis.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In chicken muscle cells with normal energy, adding creatine seems to boost protein building and turn on key muscle growth switches in the cells.
See the scientific wording
In chick myotubes under normal energy conditions, creatine supplementation is associated with increased protein synthesis and upregulation of total and phosphorylated P70S6K, suggesting a role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis through the mTOR/P70S6K pathway.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: The regulating pathway of creatine on muscular protein metabolism depends on the energy state.
The study gave creatine to chick muscle cells in normal conditions and found it boosted protein production and activated a key muscle growth pathway, just like the claim says.
