The AMPK and mTOR Pathways in relation to Muscle Growth

In simple terms, during cardiovascular exercise like running on an empty stomach, a metabolic pathway called AMPK is activated which can limit muscle growth by reducing another pathway called mTOR.

To summarize:

  • AMPK: activated during energy-depleted states (like fasting or exercise)
  • mTOR: pathway that promotes muscle growth
  • AMPK inhibits mTOR, which inhibits muscle growth
