A new study asked three questions about muscle protein synthesis in response to a nine-day diet and weight training regimen: First, does the source of protein -- plant or animal-based -- make any ...

Animal proteins optimize muscle gain due to essential amino acids. Plant-based proteins require careful pairing for similar ...

A top fitness researcher sets the record straight on protein absorption, muscle protein synthesis, and how to actually fuel growth. One of the most tried and true ways to build muscle and drop body ...

Protein stands as the cornerstone of muscle development, functioning as the primary nutrient responsible for repairing and building muscle tissue after physical activity. When you exercise, ...

Challenging the belief that animal protein is the superior type for building muscle, scientists have shown that there is actually no difference in eating meat and dairy or plant sources following a ...

Protein consumption is vital to our muscles, as it stimulates the process of producing new muscle proteins, also called muscle protein synthesis. A new study suggests that this process is stimulated ...

A study has tracked the acute muscle-building response in adults engaged in weight-training exercise who were fed either high-fat or lean ground pork burgers with the same amount of protein in each.

Scientists discovered that lean pork builds muscle more effectively post-workout than high-fat pork, even with identical protein levels. Using advanced tracking techniques, they found that fat content ...
