Opinion on the role of protein in promoting athletic performance is divided along the lines of
how much aerobic-based versus resistance-based activity the athlete undertakes. Athletes …

This study was designed to compare the acute response of mixed muscle protein synthesis
(MPS) to rapidly (ie, whey hydrolysate and soy) and slowly (ie, micellar casein) digested …

Leucine (Leu) is a nutritionally essential branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) in animal

The Society for Sarcopenia, Cachexia, and Wasting Disease convened an expert panel to
develop nutritional recommendations for prevention and management of sarcopenia …

Muscle contraction during exercise, whether resistive or endurance in nature, has profound
affects on muscle protein turnover that can persist for up to 72 h. It is well established that …

Although there are several reviews that report the interrelationship between sarcopenia and
