Leucine-enriched protein supplementation enhances anabolic protein signaling compared to rest.
Supplementing with leucine can improve anabolic signaling during resistance training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
STRT+Leu increased the ratio of phosphorylated to total mechanistic target of rapamycin and 4EBP1 compared to Rest.
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
