New work from Deutz et al. We examined if multi-enzyme supplements improved mixed-meal AA availability in older adults. Enzymes accelerated Leucine Tmax (121 vs 141 min), but soft clustering shows it’s not one-size-fits-all. jn.nutrition.org/article/S00…

Age-related decline in digestive function increases malnutrition risk. Supplementing meals with digestive enzymes may improve macronutrient digestion and bioavailability in adults reaching older ages.

Our new study shows that not all animal proteins are equal for MPS after resistance exercise. A high-fat ground meat matrix limited MPS when compared to its leaner counter-part, likely due to a reduced leucine trigger. Great work, @ZanZupancic18 ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S…

There is considerable variation in the anabolic action of ingesting protein-dense foods on the stimulation of postprandial myofibrillar protein synthesis rates (MPS) despite ingesting similar amounts...

The anabolic action of vegan and animal-based dietary patterns on MPS were similar during a short-term program of weight lifting. There was also no impact of protein distribution on the anabolic responses. @andyaskowphd @TakeshiBarnes @ZanZupancic18 journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/a…

orous (OMN) and vegan (VGN) dietary patterns may differentially stimulate MPS. Moreover, the distribution and frequency of protein intake may also play an important anabolic regulatory role. Object...
