Abstract
Plasma insulin responses were significantly greater in the PRO + HCHO group at 18.4 +/- 2.9 U.6 h(-1) x l(-1) compared to the PRO + LCHO and PRO groups.
- Muscle protein synthesis rates did not significantly differ between the protein-only and carbohydrate-protein combinations after resistance exercise.
- Plasma glucose levels increased over time in both carbohydrate-containing groups, but not in the protein-only group.
- The plasma glucose rate of appearance and disappearance was substantially higher in the PRO + HCHO group compared to both PRO and PRO + LCHO.
- Whole body protein metabolism markers, including breakdown and synthesis rates, remained consistent across all experimental conditions.
