Ingestion of 20 g Whey or Canola Protein Does Not Further Increase Muscle Protein Synthesis Rates During Recovery From Resistance Exercise In Healthy, Young Females.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Protein ingestion during recovery from exercise can further increase muscle protein synthesis rates. Plant-derived proteins are generally believed to have lesser anabolic properties than animal-derived proteins. To our knowledge, no studies have compared the impact of plant-derived with that of animal-derived protein ingestion on postexercise muscle protein synthesis rates in healthy, young females.

Objectives

This study compared muscle protein synthesis rates following the ingestion of 20 g native canola protein, 20 g whey protein, or a noncaloric placebo during recovery from a single bout of resistance exercise in healthy, young females.

Methods

In this randomly assigned, parallel group, double-blind placebo-controlled design, 36 healthy young (age, 23 ±
