A Lower Protein Leucine‐matched Beverage Induces Similar Increases in Acute and Integrated Muscle Protein Synthesis in Healthy Older Women

Sarcopenic muscle and strength loss negatively impact health. Sarcopenic muscle loss may have a multi‐faceted etiology, but the predominant mechanism is thought to be a phenomenon termed anabolic resistance. Anabolic resistance describes a refractoriness of muscle protein synthesis (MPS) to feeding‐induced hyperaminoacidemia in older versus younger persons. Older adults have a lower food intake and older women in particular may not be consuming …
