Protein ingestion after exercise increases Akt and mTOR phosphorylation by 175%-400% compared to placebo.
Enhancing anabolic signaling through protein intake post-exercise may optimize muscle growth.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Akt and mTOR phosphorylation increased 1 h after exercise with PRO (175%-400%, P < 0.01) and was different from PLA (150%-300%, P < 0.001).
Why this rating
Based on randomized crossover design with clear results.
