we knew at the time that you know the decline in muscle mass with inactivity was due to the desensitization of muscle to the provision of amino acids so that you know the the normal protein synthetic responses declined and therefore leading to a loss of muscle mass a paper being published by Betina mittendorfer's group showing that if you feed omega-3 fatty acids to older people and then Infuse amino acids it can enhance the sensitivity of muscle tissue to the provision of those amino acids so somehow you know Omega-3s were being incorporated into muscle and rendering muscle more anabolically sensitive to the provision of amino acids
