🙏 Grateful to work with an amazing team on this — Congratulations to @korzepamarie.bsky.social for your outstanding work on this and thanks to our volunteers for their time and dedication.

➡️ Next steps: The source and quality of protein may be important for muscle remodeling with very low protein diets, particularly in clinical scenarios 🏥

➡️ Resistance exercise every other day increased muscle anabolism by over 10% and is the key driver for muscle growth in aging populations. Stay active, stay strong, and focus on training first! 🏋️‍♂️

➡️ Consuming 1.0g/kg/day of protein from predominantly plant or animal sources had little influence on muscle anabolism, or markers of metabolic and renal health 🌱 🥛

Resistance training increases myofibrillar protein synthesis in middle-to-older aged adults consuming a typical diet with no influence of protein source: a randomized controlled trial. The primary protein source of a diet may impact skeletal muscle maintenance with advancing age. The impact of the animal and plant protein content of …

Excited to share our latest study: Resistance training increases myofibrillar protein synthesis in middle-to-older aged adults consuming a typical diet with no influence of protein source: a randomized controlled trial.

Postprandial plasma amino acid and appetite responses to a low protein breakfast supplemented with whey or pea protein in middle-to-older aged adults - European Journal of Nutrition The addition of low-dose protein to low protein-containing meals in middle-to-older aged adults may promote greater postprandial plasma aminoacidemia and mitigate declines in muscle health but may be ...

Accelerated aging of skeletal muscle and the immune system in patients with chronic liver disease - Experimental & Molecular Medicine Chronic liver disease, a long-term condition damaging the liver, is causing more deaths worldwide. Patients often develop immune dysfunction and sarcopenia. This study aimed to see if CLD patients sho...

Ahhhh…this feels like Twitter circa 2022. No cesspool of hate and misinformation.

Happy to be here to share what we’re up to in all things skeletal muscle metabolism research. Hoping to reconnect with contacts from ‘that’ other channel.
