Ingestion of a Whey Plus Collagen Protein Blend Increases Myofibrillar and Muscle Connective Protein Synthesis Rates
Eating a Whey and Collagen Protein Mix Increases Muscle Fiber and Connective Tissue Protein Growth
AI simplified
Abstract
Ingestion of a whey and collagen protein blend (25 g whey/5 g collagen) increases rates at rest and during recovery from exercise.
- Post-prandial plasma amino acid concentrations, including leucine and glycine, significantly increased following protein ingestion.
- Myofibrillar protein synthesis rates were higher in the exercised leg compared to the rested leg.
- The whey and collagen blend resulted in greater myofibrillar protein synthesis rates compared to the placebo in both rested and exercised legs.
- rates were higher in the protein blend group compared to the placebo in the rested leg, but not in the exercised leg.
