Study Summary
In crossover trials, ten (N=10) young men (18-35 y) will receive stable isotope tracer infusions and perform a single bout of resistance exercise. Immediately after resistance exercise, participants will ingest stable isotope labeled whole eggs (18 g protein, 17 g fat) or egg whites (18 g protein, 0 g fat) cooked in scrambled form. Repeated blood and muscle biopsies will be collected to determine whole body amino acid kinetics, muscle amino acid transporters, anabolic signaling and myofibrillar protein synthesis rates during the trials.
Primary Outcome
Myofibrillar protein synthesis rates will be assessed during the postabsorptive period for 3 hr and during the 5 hr after the ingestion of the experimental beverages. This will allow us to assess the change from the postabsorptive to the postprandial period
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Resistance Exercise
- OTHER Whole Eggs
- OTHER Egg Whites
