The Effect of a Plant-blend Protein Isolate on Post-exercise Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis

Start date: February 24, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Dietary protein ingestion is required to maximise the anabolic response during the recovery from resistance exercise. Whey protein is considered the optimal dietary strategy to maximise post-exercise muscle protein synthesis, but animal-protein production and consumption is associated with growing environmental and ethical concerns. Plant-based protein sources are considered of lesser anabolic quality than isonitrogenous boluses of animal-derived protein attributed to, at least in part, deficiencies in key essential amino acid. Blending different protein sources may overcome amino acid deficiencies and potentiate the post-exercise anabolic response. In the present study the investigators assessed the post-exercise muscle protein synthetic response following the ingestion of a novel plant-based protein isolate when compared with an isonitrogenous bolus of whey protein in healthy young, resistance trained women and men.

The Muscle Protein Synthetic Response of Algal and Fungal Protein

SCAM
Start date: December 19, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Dietary protein intake is vital for the maintenance of skeletal muscle mass and health. The production of animal-based proteins sources is associated with growing environmental and ethical challenges. As such, sustainable alternatives are needed. Algae are sustainably produced high-protein sources and it is predicted that algae will become one of the most consumed proteins in the next decades. However, the effects of algae on the stimulation of muscle mass growth are unknown. Therefore, we aim to assess the rate of digestion and absorption, and the effects on muscle growth of two types of algae (spirulina and chlorella) when compared to a sustainable non-animal derived fungal reference protein (mycoprotein), a source known to elicit a robust anabolic response.
