Metabolic rate during sleep, adjusted for fat-free mass and fat mass, is positively correlated with the long form of UCP-3 (r = 0.69, P = 0.006).
This finding suggests that UCP-3 may play a role in regulating metabolic rate during sleep, which could inform sleep and recovery strategies.

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
