Muscle Protein Synthesis in Response to Plant-Based Protein Isolates With and Without Added Leucine Versus Whey Protein in Young Men and Women
Abstract
Background: Plant-based protein supplements often contain lower amounts of leucine and other essential amino acids (EAAs), potentially making them less effective in stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS) than animal-based proteins. Combining plant proteins could improve the EAA profile and more effectively support MPS.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a novel plant-based blend protein (PBP), PBP with added …
