Brief Summary
Acute exercise increases the incorporation of dietary amino acids into de novo myofibrillar proteins after a single meal in controlled laboratory studies in males. It is unclear if this extends to fre...
Detailed Description
Exogenous (e.g. diet-derived) amino acids increase muscle protein synthesis and provide the building blocks for growth. While traditional infusion studies can measure the synthesis of total mixed musc...
