mTOR is a nutrient sensor sensitive to dietary protein; high protein activates cell proliferation signals, while low protein promotes autophagy.

“mTOR I know you talked a lot about mTOR it's the same exactly the same it's a nutrient sensor at heart it's very sensitive to dietary protein and what it does is if there's a lot of protein you turn on all these cell proliferation signals when you have very little protein what happens at otha G it's like oh okay so you have to realize that metabolism and growth are exactly the same thing”
