Answer:
Delay
Explanation:
Muscle breakdown can be reduced or restricted with the intake of protein in sufficient amount. Protein in sufficient amount increases the concentration of insulin to a level where it can restrict or prohibit the breakdown of muscle protein.
Therefore, the role of protein is to increase the insulin level. In case if the intake of muscle protein in increased but the level of insulin is lower than the requirement, then muscle breakdown will not be effected by the level of protein.
