Study Summary
The optimal EAA-containing protein format necessary to maximally stimulate muscle protein synthesis and optimize whole-body net protein balance during caloric deprivation has not been determined. This study will address that gap in knowledge by examining post, whole-body exercise muscle and whole-body protein kinetic responses to ingesting varying EAA-containing protein formats after a 5 day period of negative energy balance. This study will provide the initial evidence to support the development of a recovery-based food product for military combat rations.
Primary Outcome
Assessed using stable isotope infusions of phenylalanine.
Interventions
- DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT Whey Protein
- DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT Essential Amino Acid Enriched Whey Protein
