Study Summary
The anabolic action of 'fast' whey protein on the regulation of postprandial muscle protein synthesis has been established to be short-lived in healthy young adults. Our aim was assess the time course of anabolic signaling events and stimulation of muscle protein synthesis rates (MPS) after ingestion of a food source that represents a more typical meal-induced pattern of aminoacidemia, namely milk protein concentrate, in healthy young males.
Primary Outcome
Myofibrillar protein synthesis rates will be assessed during the postabsorptive period for 3 hours, and every 1-2 hours during the 5 hours after protein ingestion. This will allow us assess the timecourse of muscle protein synthesis after eating.
