Protein ingestion increases muscle protein synthesis rates. However, limited data are currently available on the effects of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) and ketoacid (BCKA) postprandial The aim this study was to compare impact ingesting 6 g BCAA, BCKA, 30 milk (MILK) rise in circulating concentrations subsequent myofibrillar rates older males. In a parallel design, 45 males (age: 71 ± 1 y; BMI: 25.4 0.8 kg/m2) were randomly assigned ingest drink containing or MILK. Basal assessed by...
Insects have recently been identified as a more sustainable protein-dense food source and may represent viable alternative to conventional animal-derived proteins. We aimed compare the impacts of ingesting lesser mealworm– milk-derived protein on digestion amino acid absorption kinetics, postprandial skeletal muscle synthesis rates, incorporation dietary protein–derived acids into de novo at rest during recovery from exercise in vivo humans. In this double-blind randomized controlled trial,...
Plant-derived proteins have received considerable attention as an alternative to animal-based and are now frequently used in both plant-based diets sports nutrition products. However, little information is available on the anabolic properties of potato-derived protein. This study compares muscle protein synthesis rates after ingestion 30 g potato versus milk at rest during recovery from a single bout resistance exercise healthy, young males.In randomized, double-blind, parallel-group design,...
Protein ingestion increases muscle protein synthesis rates. The food matrix in which is provided can strongly modulate the postprandial synthetic response. So far, response to of whole foods remains largely unexplored.To compare impact ingesting 30 g as milk or cheese on plasma amino acid concentrations and rates at rest during recovery from exercise vivo young males.In this randomized, parallel-group intervention trial, 20 healthy males aged 18-35 y ingested concentrate following a...
Abstract We measured the impact of blood flow restriction on muscle protein synthesis rates, mass and strength during 2 weeks strict bed rest. Twelve healthy, male adults (age: 24 ± 3 years, body index: 23.7 3.1 kg/m ) were subjected to 14 days rest with unilateral performed three times daily in 5 min cycles (200 mmHg). Participants consumed deuterium oxide we collected saliva samples throughout Before immediately after rest, lean (dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry scan) thigh volume...
ABSTRACT This study evaluated whether dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide comparable outcomes in quantifying disuse‐induced skeletal muscle atrophy. Although the calculation of volume using MRI analysis may be considered gold standard, method remains labor intense and, as such, less practical more costly. In this context, we also efficacy a commercially available automated to measure changes leg after two weeks bed...
ABSTRACT Purpose: Ingestion of whey protein increases myofibrillar but not muscle connective synthesis rates. Recently, we defined a and collagen blend (5:1-ratio) to optimize post-prandial plasma amino acid availability. Here, assessed the ability this increase rates at rest during early recovery from exercise. Methods: In randomized, double-blind, parallel design, 28 men (age: 25 ± 5 y; BMI: 23.6 2.3 kg/m 2 ) were randomly allocated ingest either 30 g (25 whey/5 collagen; BLEND, n = 14) or...
Egg protein is ingested during recovery from exercise to facilitate the post-exercise increase in muscle synthesis rates and, as such, support skeletal adaptive response training. The impact of cooking egg on unknown.To compare ingesting unboiled (raw) versus boiled eggs postprandial myofibrillar rates.In a parallel design, forty-five healthy, resistance trained young men (age: 24 (95%CI: 23-25) y) were randomly assigned ingest 5 raw (∼30 g protein), or control breakfast (∼5 protein) single...
Whey protein ingestion during recovery from exercise increases myofibrillar but not muscle connective synthesis rates. It has been speculated that whey does provide sufficient glycine to maximize postexercise In the present study, we assessed impact of coingesting different amounts collagen with as a nutritional strategy increase plasma availability exercise. randomized, double-blind, crossover design, 14 recreationally active men (age: 26 ± 5 years; body mass index: 23.8 2.1 kg·m-2)...
