Here, we summarize the current knowledge on eight promising drugs and natural
compounds that have been tested in the clinic: metformin, NAD+ precursors, glucagon-like …

Plant-sourced proteins offer environmental and health benefits, and research increasingly
includes them in study formulas. However, plant-based proteins have less of an anabolic …

The postprandial rise in essential amino acid (EAA) concentrations modulates the increase
in muscle protein synthesis rates after protein ingestion. The EAA content and AA …

There is a global trend of an increased interest in plant-based diets. This includes an
increase in the consumption of plant-based proteins at the expense of animal-based …

Background Plant-derived proteins are considered to have fewer anabolic properties when
compared with animal-derived proteins. The anabolic properties of isolated proteins do not …

The age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function is caused, at least in part, by a
reduced muscle protein synthetic response to protein ingestion. The magnitude and duration …

Sarcopenia is characterized by loss of muscle and reduction in muscle strength that
contributes to higher mortality rate and increased incidence of fall and hospitalization in the …

Background Protein supplements are important to maintain optimum health and physical
performance, particularly in athletes and active individuals to repair and rebuild their skeletal …

Background: The “leucine trigger” hypothesis was originally conceived to explain the post-
prandial regulation of muscle protein synthesis (MPS). This hypothesis implicates the …

Pea protein is an attractive nonanimal-derived protein source to support dietary protein
requirements. However, although high in leucine, a low methionine content has been …
