PLIN3 protein content is associated with 24-hour respiratory quotient (RQ) and skeletal muscle-specific ex vivo palmitate oxidation.
Higher PLIN3 levels may enhance lipid oxidation in skeletal muscle, which could inform dietary and exercise recommendations.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
PLIN3 protein content was associated with 24-h RQ (r = -0.44; P = .02) and skeletal muscle-specific ex vivo palmitate oxidation (r = 0.61; P = .02).
Why this rating
Based on the clinical investigation and statistical significance reported.

- 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
