Inhibition of NO synthase (NOS) reduces skeletal muscle glucose uptake during contraction.
Inhibiting NOS may impair glucose uptake during exercise, affecting performance.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
It has been consistently demonstrated that inhibition of NO synthase (NOS) attenuates the increase in skeletal muscle glucose uptake during contraction.
Why this rating
Supported by consistent experimental results.

- 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
