Sometimes we want to increase it to grow muscle and improve certain aspects of cognition, while the rest of the time want to have low levels to increase longevity, decrease cancer risk, and reduce inflammation. MTOR is one of those things that’s good to have cycled. It’s important to realize that mTOR can increase performance and we shouldn’t view it as either good or bad. However, in times of stress such as reduced caloric or nutrient intake, mTOR activity decreases (is inhibited). Cells also divide and reproduce faster, which primes the body for rapid growth and repair. mTOR is the protein that “senses” this, and signals our cells to increase their working capacity and ATP (energy) production. In more simple English, whenever we have lots of nutrition ( mainly protein) and calories, we essentially tell the body that plentiful times are here. MTOR is a protein that responds to signals from nutrients, growth factors, and cellular energy status and controls cell growth and proliferation based on this (by regulating protein synthesis). Read on to learn what mTOR is, what it does, and how it can be influenced by your diet & lifestyle. MTOR activity has been linked to differences in lifespan and other important effects. A plus sign next to the number “” means that the information is found within the full scientific study rather than the abstract. Note that each number in parentheses is a clickable link to peer-reviewed scientific studies. If you feel that any of our content is inaccurate, out-of-date, or otherwise questionable, please leave a comment or contact us at d.com. Our goal is to not have a single piece of inaccurate information on this website. They are continually monitored by our internal peer-review process and if we see anyone making material science errors, we don't let them write for us again. Our science team must pass long technical science tests, difficult logical reasoning and reading comprehension tests. Our science team is put through the strictest vetting process in the health industry and we often reject applicants who have written articles for many of the largest health websites that are deemed trustworthy. Our team comprises of trained MDs, PhDs, pharmacists, qualified scientists, and certified health and wellness specialists.Īll of our content is written by scientists and people with a strong science background. We are dedicated to providing the most scientifically valid, unbiased, and comprehensive information on any given topic. We believe that the most accurate information is found directly in the scientific source. SelfHacked has the strictest sourcing guidelines in the health industry and we almost exclusively link to medically peer-reviewed studies, usually on PubMed.
