SHR # 2535 :: Dose-response Effects of Protein Intake on Muscle Protein Synthesis During Recovery from Endurance Exercise - Prof. Luc J.C. van Loon, Ph.D - The anabolic window has been well understood in recovery after resistance training for some time now. We've also understood that protein intake within that window increases the protein synthetic response to training. What is less understood is the effects of protein intake after endurance exercise and how it affects post-workout protein synthetic response. This study aimed to determine the effect of graded doses of dietary protein co-ingested with carbohydrate on whole-body protein metabolism, and skeletal muscle myofibrillar (MyoPS) and mitochondrial (MitoPS) protein synthesis rates during recovery from endurance exercise.
