Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neither the statement nor the reason is correct.High-protein diets are neither safe nor effective as a means to increase (anabolize)muscle mass.The amino acid metabolic pool,a small reservoir containing approximately 70 g of amino acids,is not intended for this purpose.This pool contains less amino acid than most Americans consume in a day and is not intended to supplement proper nutrition,nor is it capable of building muscle mass in the absence of caloric intake and exercise.
