Omega‐3 fatty acid supplementation attenuates skeletal muscle disuse atrophy during two weeks of unilateral leg immobilization in healthy young women
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Omega‐3 (n‐3) fatty acid supplementation enhances muscle protein synthesis and muscle size. Whether n‐3 fatty acid supplementation attenuates human muscle disuse atrophy is unknown. We determined the influence of n‐3 fatty acid supplementation on muscle size, mass, and integrated rates of myofibrillar protein synthesis (MyoPS) following 2 wk of muscle disuse and recovery in women. Twenty women (BMI = 23.0 ± 2.3 kg/m 2 , age = 22 ± 3 yr) underwent 2 wk of unilateral limb immobilization followed by 2 wk of return to normal activity. Starting 4 wk prior to immobilization, participants consumed either 5 g/d of n‐3 fatty acid or an isoenergetic quantity of sunflower oil (control). Muscle size and mass were measured pre‐ and postimmobilization, and after recovery. Serial muscle biopsies were obtained to measure integrated (daily) MyoPS. Following immobilization, the decline in muscle volume was greater in the control group compared to the n‐3 fatty acid group (14 vs . 8%, P < 0.05) and was not different from preimmobilization at recovery in the n‐3 fatty acid group; however, it was still lower in the control group ( P < 0.05). Muscle mass was reduced in the control group only ( P < 0.05). MyoPS was higher in the n‐3 group compared with the control group at all times ( P < 0.05). We conclude that n‐3 fatty acid supplementation attenuates skeletal muscle disuse atrophy in young women, which may be mediated by higher rates of MyoPS.—McGlory, C., Gorissen, S. H.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
