Interesting questions. I just read an article on protein synthesis so I'll have to go look and see if test had any part of the article. I'm not sure it did but I'll check!
like roxy said, will depend on a lot of factors...
with that said, i have seen a friend of mine start out with fairly decent size and end up looking scrawny by the time he was done cutting... and he was on a pretty good ammount of juice...
i will add genetics play a big role here, and also how long you have been holding the muscle... the longer you've had it will better your chances in keeping it...

Good call on the genetics part. I wonder if speed of the cut has anything to do with it as well? So the faster and more drastic the cut, the higher chances of losing some muscle. I've heard many say they use strength in the gym as an initial indication, although that could be impacted just by dropping carbs too.
I think, at the end of the day, it's about paying attention to your body and really keeping track of what works and what doesn't. I've kept a journal over my 3 year transformation, so to speak, and it's amazing to look back and see what helped and when.
i had a great journal that i kept during my climb from 170 to 200.... than someone broke in my house and stole my laptop and i was too dumb to back it up anywhere. I still remember alot of the stuff i learned from it, but i'd love to be able to double check on others.... bastards
