New work from Deutz et al. We examined if multi-enzyme supplements improved mixed-meal AA availability in older adults. Enzymes accelerated Leucine Tmax (121 vs 141 min), but soft clustering shows it’s not one-size-fits-all. jn.nutrition.org/article/S00…
Our new study shows that not all animal proteins are equal for MPS after resistance exercise. A high-fat ground meat matrix limited MPS when compared to its leaner counter-part, likely due to a reduced leucine trigger. Great work, @ZanZupancic18

Congrats Dr. @TakeshiBarnes on a successful defense. Thanks to Daniel Moore, @JacobAllenPhD, and Ken Wilund for being a supportive committee.
The group presenting their work at #APS2025 related to sex-based anabolic comparisons (Gena Irwin), food matrix effects (@ZanZupancic18), and protein distribution (@TakeshiBarnes)
Free ASN/GSSI sponsored webinar. Great lineup and learning outcomes!

The anabolic action of vegan and animal-based dietary patterns on MPS were similar during a short-term program of weight lifting. There was also no impact of protein distribution on the anabolic responses. @andyaskowphd @TakeshiBarnes @ZanZupancic18

Congrats to Max Deutz for his successful PhD defense in @DNSatUofI, it was brilliant display. Thanks to his committee @JacobAllenPhD, Chris McGlory, and Naiman Khan for their help getting him there.
Congrats to @andyaskow for his successful PhD defense today, and thanks to @BenjaminTWall for his help getting Andy across the finish line.
Nice job @ZanZupancic18 at his oral presentation #Nutrition24
Nice poster from @TakeshiBarnes related to diary matrix manipulations and postprandial aminoacidemia

New work from @KevinPaulussen et al. that shows acute microbial protease co-ingestion with pea protein enhances the postprandial rise in plasma [AA] in healthy males and females--still need to define their metabolic fate. @KCHillinois @DNSatUofI

New work from:
@McKenna_CF @andyaskow et al. suggesting that elevated baseline MPS, and turnover, might be reducing the anabolic action of resistance exercise/feeding stimuli in post-menopausal females

In today's #tbt article @Nicholas_Burd & @mike_delisio outline evidence to show that interactions between muscle stem cells and protein turnover facilitate both hypertrophic and nonhypertrophic muscle remodeling: brnw.ch/21wEv0e
