What Does Anabolic Mean?

In short the word anabolic means to build muscle but it gets a lot more complicated than just growth or the building of muscle. The reason why it is complicated is because the anabolic processes in your body survive and are able to build muscle because of the catabolic processes in your body.

Catabolic is the opposite of anabolic and it means breaking down instead of building up. The reason why the relationship between the anabolic and the catabolic processes in your body are so important is because the only way that your body is able to build muscle is by using the remains of what is left after the catabolic processes have done their business.

For example enzymes are a vital ingredient in the process of building a muscle and it is the enzymes that are released during the catabolic process of digesting the food that you eat and use it to do the required repair work. Your body is constantly changing from a catabolic state to an anabolic state.

Unfortunately the word anabolic has become synonymous with the word steroid which is not necessary the case as anabolic is just a descriptive term used to describe what kind of steroids one is referring to. Anabolic steroids specifically mean hormones that promote the growth of muscle.

Wikipedia defines anabolic as "a phase of metabolism where simple substances are synthesized into the complex materials of living tissue." So we can look a little more closely at exactly what metabolism is in order to make a better definition of what anabolic means.

Your metabolism is a constant dance between your catabolic processes in your body and the anabolic processes. The dictionary describes metabolism as "the organic processes (in a cell or organism) that are necessary for life." But that only covers the obvious so we need to examine this process a little more closely.

As mentioned above your anabolic and your catabolic processes in your body is what makes up your metabolism. Anabolism is the constructive metabolism or the synthesis in all living organisms, which is made up from more complex substances like your living tissue in order to create energy.

The catabolic process also produces energy as the breakdown of living organisms occurs in the citric acid cycle and the Krebs cycle. Without getting too complicated all plants and animals produce energy is a series of enzymatic reactions.
