Ingestion of diverse protein-rich whole-foods result in similar post exercise whole body and myofibrillar protein synthesis rates compared with a more isolated protein source in young adults
The ingestion of a variety of protein-rich whole-foods or a more isolated protein source (egg whites) after lower-body exercise results in comparable MyoPS rates, though a greater WB net protein anabolism was achieved with egg whites. The trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04794153). Date of Registration: 2021-03-04. https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04794153?term=NCT04794153&rank=1 Clinical Trial Register No. (clinicaltrials.gov): NCT04794153.
