- Caloric Restriction (15–25% deficit)
- 15–20mg
- Once daily
- 30–60 min before longest fasting window
- Block cortisol-driven atrogin-1/MuRF1 upregulation during energy deficit
- Highest efficacy context. SS-LUP-332 directly counters the primary driver of muscle loss during dieting
- Aging-Related Sarcopenia
- 10–15mg
- Morning or pre-sleep
- Prevent age-related increase in basal MPB rates + support mitochondrial biogenesis
- Lower dose sufficient due to slower turnover rates in older populations; mitochondrial benefit is secondary priority
- Illness-Induced Muscle Wasting
- 20mg
- Pre-sleep
- Counteract cytokine-driven cachexia pathways and cortisol elevation from systemic stress
- Maximum dose justified. Inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) amplify muscle degradation beyond normal catabolic windows
- Body Recomposition (maintenance calories)
- Pre-fasting window or pre-sleep
- Preserve lean mass while allowing fat oxidation during training-induced energy flux
- Lower dose adequate. Muscle preservation is secondary to fat loss; no need to override deficit-driven catabolism
- Post-Injury Recovery
- Support muscle retention during immobilization or reduced activity periods
- Immobilization drastically elevates MPB. Higher dose prevents atrophy during forced rest
