Recent studies on non-small cell lung cancer cells found that lysine deprivation suppressed mTORC1 activity, while reintroducing lysine restored it. This research highlights the complex question: does lysine activate mTOR, and what role does it play in cellular signaling?

Creatine supplementation, when combined with resistance training, is a well-recognized strategy for increasing lean tissue and muscle strength. This effect is largely attributed to its downstream influence on anabolic signaling, which brings us to the question: does creatine trigger mTOR?
