Study Summary
In a crossover design 10 young healthy adults (20-35 y) will receive stable isotope tracer infusions and perform a single bout of resistance exercise. Immediately after exercise participants will ingest either 3.5 oz of Salmon fillet or its constituent macronutrients as isolated amino acids and fat. Repeated blood and breath samples as well as muscle biopsies will be collected to determine whole body amino acid kinetics, muscle amino acid transporters, anabolic signalling 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 interventions. This will allow us to assess the change from the postabsorptive to the postprandial period.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Resistance exercise
- OTHER Salmon
- DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT Isolated amino acids and fatty acids
