Co-Ingestion of Branched-Chain Amino Acids and Carbohydrate Stimulates Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis Following Resistance Exercise in Trained Young Men

Sarah R. Jackman, Gareth A. Wallis, Jinglei Yu, Andrew Philp, Keith Baar, Kevin D. Tipton, and Oliver C. Witard

Nutritional modulation of the muscle anabolic response to exercise is underpinned by changes in muscle protein turnover at the metabolic level ( Tipton & Wolfe, 2001 ). Ingesting an amino acid source following resistance exercise stimulates muscle protein synthesis (MPS), leading to a positive net

Protein Recommendations for Weight Loss in Elite Athletes: A Focus on Body Composition and Performance

Amy J. Hector and Stuart M. Phillips

restriction, strategies to promote high-quality weight loss (i.e., the loss of fat mass while maintaining LBM) are of importance for elite athletes. The normal maintenance of LBM is determined by continuously opposing and fluctuating rates of muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle protein breakdown (MPB

Factors Associated With Skeletal Muscle Mass Increase by Rehabilitation in Older Adults With Vertebral Compression Fractures

of muscle protein synthesis was from one day to some weeks ( Murphy et al., 2018 ; Reidy & Rasmussen, 2016 ). In other words, although duration of muscle protein synthesis was reported in those studies, duration of actual muscle mass increase is unclear for older adults. We demonstrated that

number ( Herbst & Bhasin, 2004 ; Sinha-Hikim et al., 2003 ). Testosterone deficiency, on the other hand, results in the loss of muscle mass ( Herbst & Bhasin, 2004 ). Testosterone deficiency is supposed to induce an imbalance between muscle protein breakdown and muscle protein synthesis pathways

Effects of Whey Protein Supplementation Associated With Resistance Training on Muscular Strength, Hypertrophy, and Muscle Quality in Preconditioned Older Women

it has been recommended as a means to attenuate the deleterious effects of sarcopenia ( American College of Sports Medicine, 2009 ; Garber et al., 2011 ). Furthermore, nutritional interventions in which protein ingestion increases muscle protein synthesis (MPS) beyond that of RT alone, thereby

Whey Protein Supplementation Is Superior to Leucine-Matched Collagen Peptides to Increase Muscle Thickness During a 10-Week Resistance Training Program in Untrained Young Adults

Jeferson L. Jacinto, João P. Nunes, Stefan H.M. Gorissen, Danila M.G. Capel, Andrea G. Bernardes, Alex S. Ribeiro, Edilson S. Cyrino, Stuart M. Phillips, and Andreo F. Aguiar

as milk-derived proteins (i.e., casein and whey protein [WP]), are superior in stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS; Gorissen et al., 2016 ; Oikawa et al., 2020 ; Tang et al., 2009 ; Wilkinson et al., 2007 ) and increasing lean body mass ( Aristizabal et al., 2015 ; Hartman et al., 2007

not discussed in our meta-review and may be found elsewhere ( Trouwborst et al., 2018 ). Proteins, essential amino acids, in particular, are potent stimulators of muscle protein synthesis, emphasizing the need for adequate high-quality protein consumption for muscle health. The protein recommendation

The Effect of Whole Egg Intake on Muscle Mass: Are the Yolk and Its Nutrients Important?

Heitor O. Santos, Gederson K. Gomes, Brad J. Schoenfeld, and Erick P. de Oliveira

effect seems to be minimal for promoting muscle hypertrophy. ▸ Whole egg intake seems to promote a greater acute muscle protein synthesis (MPS) response when compared with egg white in young men. ▸ Limited evidence shows that whole egg intake does not promote higher muscle mass gains than white egg
