Muscle Protein Synthesis Clinical Trial
— ALPACAOfficial title:
The Evaluation of Canola Protein and Whey Protein to Support Muscle Conditioning in Vivo in Young Females
Muscle tissue consists of proteins. These proteins are built up of small building blocks: amino acids. By consuming enough protein in our diet, we make sure that the body is provided with enough amino acids to facilitate muscle protein building. Also after exercise is protein intake important as it contributes to the recovery process. Providing the growing world population with sufficient animal-derived protein is a challenge. Plant proteins can be produced on a more sustainable commercial scale than conventional animal-derived proteins and therefore, can contribute to feeding our future population. Canola protein is a protein that is derived from rapeseed. The composition of canola seems to be comparable to that of other high-quality animal-based protein sources. But there is no data yet on the effect of canola protein ingestion on muscle growth. Additionally, most research on the effect of protein intake and muscle growth/recovery has been performed in males and we need more insight into the effect in females. The goal of this study is to investigate whether the ingestion of canola protein can stimulate muscle growth just as good as whey protein after a strength exercise session in females. Primary objective: To assess the impact of 20g canola or 20g whey protein vs placebo ingestion on acute 5-hour postprandial muscle protein synthesis rates during recovery from lower-body resistance-type exercise in vivo in young females. Secondary objective: To assess the impact of 20g canola protein vs 20g whey protein ingestion on acute 5-hour postprandial muscle protein synthesis rates during recovery from lower-body resistance-type exercise in vivo in young females. Tertiary objectives: Compare signaling pathways and. postprandial 5-hour plasma glucose, insulin, and amino acid concentrations, (including area under the curve, peak concentrations, and time to peak) following canola protein, whey protein, and placebo ingestion during recovery from lower-body resistance-type exercise in young females. Hypothesis: it is hypothesized that acute 5-hour postprandial muscle protein synthesis rates will be not different following 20g canola protein and 20g whey protein ingestion and higher compared to placebo during lower-body post-exercise recovery in healthy young females.
