Andy, I normally don't bother to get in an argument
because its like talking to a wall with some people, but
for your troubles I'll be blunt.
Thyroid Hormones increase NET BODY PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
So, before exogeneous thyroid is taken:
Available protein synthesis capacity for muscles:
Say X(1) = % of Net Body Synthesis.
Now, assume you introduce exogeneous T3 that
DOES INCREASE NET BODY PROTEIN
SYNTHESIS.
X now becomes = X(1) + AX(1)
A being the % increase in NET PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
due to the exogeneous T3.
Now, since X > X(1)
Muscle protein synthesis have gone UP, as MUSCLE
protein synthesis are directly related to the
increase in thyroid levels caused
by the exogeneous T3.
Sure, organ protein synthesis rates go up BUT
so do muscle synthsis rates.
It is a SIMPLE mathematical series.
Is that simple enough for you?
