Blood from people after fermented whey protein intake may boost muscle cell growth and protein production

Updated

Abstract

Age-related anabolic resistance may contribute to skeletal muscle loss in older adults, with effects varying among individuals.

  • Whey protein is known to stimulate muscle protein synthesis by increasing amino acid levels and activating a specific cellular pathway.
  • Fermented whey protein may have enhanced effects on muscle growth due to potentially greater bioactivity.
  • The impact of fermented whey protein on muscle anabolic and metabolic responses in aging is not yet fully understood.
