Mechanistic review demonstrates anabolic insulin actions in muscle and liver tissues, highlighting distinct regulatory pathways.

To evaluate the anabolic mechanisms by which insulin regulates protein synthesis and turnover across hepatic and muscle tissues.
Synthesis of analytical techniques used to measure chemical reactions, intermediate metabolites, and synthetic rates in protein formation.
Examination of in vitro organ perfusion methodologies across liver, heart, and skeletal muscle tissues.
Review of molecular assays developed to quantify individual protein synthesis and specific messenger RNA abundance.
Insulin directly drives anabolic protein turnover via discrete control mechanisms situated in muscle tissue and the liver.
Specific biochemical reactions within the protein synthesis pathway serve as distinct sites of hormonal regulation.

Leonard S. Jefferson (1980) studied this question.
