A recent study examined the protein synthesis in young men’s muscle and albumin after resistance exercise. The study also examined protein synthesis during rest and after resistance exercise. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) were found to increase p70S6k phosphorylation. This increase in phosphorylation is important for protein metabolism in the muscle. These changes are similar to … Continue reading Branched-Chain Amino Acids Increase Muscle Protein Synthesis
