Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis

The aim of this study was to test the effects of two disparate isonitrogenous, isocaloric pre-exercise feeds on deuterium-oxide (D2O) derived measures of myofibrillar protein synthesis (myoPS) in humans. Methods: In a double-blind parallel group design, 22 resistance-trained men aged 18 to 35 years ingested a meal (6 kcal·kg−1, 0.8 g·kg−1 carbohydrate, 0.2 g·kg−1 fat) with 0.33 g·kg−1 nonessential amino acids blend (NEAA) or whey protein (WHEY), prior to resistance exercise (70% 1RM back-squats, 10 reps per set to failure, 25% duty cycle). Biopsies of M. vastus lateralis were obtained pre-ingestion (PRE) and +3 h post-exercise (POST). The myofibrillar fractional synthetic rate (myoFSR) was calculated via deuterium labelling of myofibrillar-bound alanine, measured by gas chromatography–pyrolysis–isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-Pyr-IRMS). Data are a mean percentage change (95% CI). Results: There was no discernable change in myoFSR following NEAA (10(−5, 25) %, p = 0.235), whereas an increase in myoFSR was observed after WHEY (28 (13, 43) %, p = 0.003). Conclusions: Measured by a D2O tracer technique, a disparate myoPS response was observed between NEAA and WHEY. Pre-exercise ingestion of whey protein increased post-exercise myoPS, whereas a NEAA blend did not, supporting the use of NEAA as a viable isonitrogenous negative control.

Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of whey protein supplementation on myofibrillar protein synthesis (myoPS) and muscle recovery over a 7-d period of intensified resistance training (RT). Methods: In a double-blind randomised parallel group design, 16 resistance-trained men aged 18 to 35 years completed a 7-d RT protocol, consisting of three lower-body RT sessions on non-consecutive days. Participants consumed a controlled diet (146 kJ·kg−1·d−1, 1.7 g·kg−1·d−1 protein) with either a whey protein supplement or an isonitrogenous control (0.33 g·kg−1·d−1 protein). To measure myoPS, 400 ml of deuterium oxide (D2O) (70 atom %) was ingested the day prior to starting the study and m. vastus lateralis biopsies were taken before and after RT-intervention. Myofibrillar fractional synthetic rate (myoFSR) was calculated via deuterium labelling of myofibrillar-bound alanine, measured by gas chromatography-pyrolysis-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-Pyr-IRMS). Muscle recovery parameters (i.e., countermovement jump height, isometric-squat force, muscle soreness and serum creatine kinase) were assessed daily. Results: MyoFSR PRE was 1.6 (0.2) %∙d−1 (mean (SD)). Whey protein supplementation had no effect on myoFSR (p = 0.771) or any recovery parameter (p = 0.390–0.989). Conclusions: Over an intense 7-d RT protocol, 0.33 g·kg−1·d−1 of supplemental whey protein does not enhance day-to-day measures of myoPS or postexercise recovery in resistance-trained men.

Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis

Introduction: Short-term disuse leads to muscle loss driven by lowered daily myofibrillar protein synthesis (MyoPS). However, disuse commonly results from muscle damage, and its influence on muscle deconditioning during disuse is unknown. Methods: 21 males (20±1 y, BMI=24±1 kg·m-2 (±SEM)) underwent 7 days of unilateral leg immobilization immediately preceded by 300 bilateral, maximal, muscle-damaging eccentric quadriceps contractions (DAM; n=10) or no exercise (CON; n=11). Participants ingested deuterated water and underwent temporal bilateral thigh MRI scans and vastus lateralis muscle biopsies of immobilized (IMM) and non-immobilized (N-IMM) legs. Results: N-IMM quadriceps muscle volume remained unchanged throughout in both groups. IMM quadriceps muscle volume declined after 2 days by 1.7±0.5% in CON (P=0.031; and by 1.3±0.6% when corrected to N-IMM; P=0.06) but did not change in DAM, and declined equivalently in CON (by 6.4±1.1% [5.0±1.6% when corrected to N-IMM]) and DAM (by 2.6±1.8% [4.0±1.9% when corrected to N-IMM]) after 7 days. Immobilization began to decrease MyoPS compared with N-IMM in both groups after 2 days (P=0.109), albeit with higher MyoPS rates in DAM compared with CON (P=0.035). Frank suppression of MyoPS was observed between days 2-7 in CON (IMM=1.04±0.12, N-IMM=1.86±0.10%·d-1; P=0.002) but not DAM (IMM=1.49±0.29, N-IMM=1.90±0.30%·d-1; P>0.05). Declines in MyoPS and quadriceps volume after 7 days correlated positively in CON (R2=0.403; P=0.035) but negatively in DAM (R2=0.483; P=0.037). Quadriceps strength declined following immobilization in both groups, but to a greater extent in DAM. Conclusion: Prior muscle damaging eccentric exercise increases MyoPS and prevents loss of quadriceps muscle volume after 2 (but not 7) days of disuse.

Abstract Objectives Healthy eating patterns consist of eating whole foods as opposed to single nutrients. The maintenance of skeletal muscle mass is of particular interest to overall health. As such, there is a need to underpin the role of eating nutrients within their natural whole-food matrix versus isolated nutrients on the regulation of postprandial muscle protein synthesis rates. This study assessed the effects of eating salmon, a potential food within a healthy Mediterranean style eating pattern, on the stimulation of post-exercise muscle protein synthesis rates versus eating these same nutrients in isolation in healthy young adults. Methods In a crossover design, 10 recreationally active adults (24 ± 4 y; 5 M, 5 F) performed an acute bout of resistance exercise followed by the ingestion of salmon (SAL) (20.5 g protein and 7.5 g fat) or its matched constituents in the form of crystalline amino acids and fish oil (ISO). Blood and muscle biopsies were collected at rest and after exercise at 2 and 5 h during primed continuous infusions of L-[ring-2H5]phenylalanine for the measurement of myofibrillar protein synthesis and plasma amino acid profiles. Data were analyzed by using a 2-factor (time × condition) repeated-measures ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test. Results Plasma essential amino acid concentrations increased to a similar extent in both SAL and ISO during the postprandial period (P > 0.05). Likewise, postprandial plasma leucine concentrations did not differ between nutrient condition (P > 0.05). The post-exercise myofibrillar protein synthetic responses were similarly stimulated in both nutrition conditions early (0–2 h; 0.079 ± 0.039%/h (SAL) compared to 0.071 ± 0.078%/h (ISO); P = 0.64) and returned to baseline later (2–5 h; 0.046 ± 0.020%/h (SAL) compared to 0.038 ± 0.025%/h (ISO); P = 0.90). Similarly, there were no differences in the stimulation of myofibrillar protein synthesis rates between SAL and ISO during the entire 0–5 h recovery period (0.058 ± 0.024%/h compared to 0.045 ± 0.027%/h, respectively; P = 0.66). Conclusions We show that the ingestion of salmon or its isolated nutrients increases plasma amino acid concentrations and enhances the stimulation of post-exercise muscle protein synthesis rates with no differences in the temporal or cumulative responses in healthy young adults.

We aimed to determine the effect of consuming pure isolated micellar casein or pure whey protein isolate on rates of myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) at rest and after resistance exercise in elderly men. Healthy elderly men (72 (sem 1) years; BMI 26·4 (sem 0·7) kg/m2) were divided into two groups (n 7 each) who received a primed, constant infusion of l-[ring-13C6]phenylalanine to measure MPS at rest and during 4 h of exercise recovery. Participants performed unilateral leg resistance exercise followed by the consumption of isonitrogenous quantities (20 g) of casein or whey. Blood essential amino acids and leucine concentration peaked 60 min post-drink and were greater in amplitude after whey protein ingestion (both, P < 0·05). MPS in the rested leg was 65 % higher (P = 0·002) after ingestion of whey (0·040 (sem 0·003) %/h) when compared with micellar casein (0·024 (sem 0·002) %/h). Similarly, resistance exercise-stimulated rates of MPS were greater (P < 0·001) after whey ingestion (0·059 (sem 0·005) %/h) v. micellar casein (0·035 (sem 0·002) %/h). We conclude that ingestion of isolated whey protein supports greater rates of MPS than micellar casein both at rest and after resistance exercise in healthy elderly men. This result is probably related to a greater hyperaminoacidaemia or leucinaemia with whey ingestion.
