"Using a muscle specific raptor KO mouse, Bentzinger et al. (2008) found a 4-19% reduction in muscle mass similar to the muscle mass reduction observed in eIF3F +/- mice, supporting a moderate but effective contribution of MTOR and eIF3f interaction in basal skeletal muscle mass of heterozygous mice.With muscle mass homeostasis resulting from a delicate balance between protein synthesis and degradation, a difference between protein synthesis rate and muscle mass can also result from altered protein breakdown pathways."
